“I Am Not A True English Woman,English People Are Boring Always Considering Their Fucking Island…”
“Wow Madam is angry…”
You can say that again..
This is the English “translation” of the (infamous?) Rock And Folk interview from 1991…
“I don’t like to make photographs contrary to what people think..it is a pointless detail..”
(Cough…Visit Her MySpace Moving Wendy Gallery-A-Rama Whydontcha….Cough..)
It was done for the WOW fanzine run by Steve & Donna Hughes...
(They got a guy to translate it for their fanzine and this is his original words..)
Seeing as his version is 99% accurate (give or take a few grammer issues) I decided not to translate it myself for you..
“Fred’s” version captures all the venom,anger and resentment Wendy was feeling towards her fellow English folk..
(They had just rejected “I Just Wanna” & were about to reject “Looks Could Kill” back in the United Kingdom so she was SERIOUSLY PISSED OFF with them…)
Like this…
“To put it crudely to say Manchester is a cool place what a fucking joke! Have you ever seen Manchester?..”
“Let them say Joy Division are the greatest band in the universe and let them die..!!!”
Racine played Manchester on their last tour..
(They had to make up for the cancelled London & Brighton gigs somehow..)
Don’t think they will again though..
(Wendy might puke if she has to meet too many Mancunians at once..)
The rest of the interview follows along the same lines…
(Basically “You Dared Reject Me So Fuck You All” again and again and again…)
This type of “honest” interview is what is known in the music biz as a
A First Class Invitation To A Public Ass Kicking
Not suprisingly it was never mentioned in English markets..
Why..?
Wendy was depending on it NEVER being translated into English so people back home could read it…
WRONG.
“Wendy’s words Dear Readers..”
See ya
