It is a religion to me, and I can trace my enlightenment from a kid who knew nothing about music beyond Top Of The Pops to a real music junkie to a precise place and time. Dinner queue, Heanor Gate School, Easter term 1973. A schoolfriend pushed a newspaper into my mits and said, 'done with this, you have it'. It was a week old copy of the NME, and I was hooked.
