On the Glory that is The Commitments

“What kind of music are we going to be playing, Jimmy?”
“We’re working class, right?”

“We would be if there was any work.”

“So, your music should be like where you’re from and the sort of people you come from. It should speak the language of the streets. It should be struggle and sex and I don’t mean I want to hold your hand until the end of time and mushy stuff like that…”

“What kind of music says all that?”

“Soul.”
