Ian McCulloch: Mustn’t Grumble
Robert Sandall, Q, March 1992
Ian McCullochs commercial appeal may be "more selective" than it was in the glory days of Echo And Bunnymen, but at least hes found a surer sense of his own identity. "I used to be more Mick Jagger, holdin me willy on stage and wearin no undies," he informed Robert Sandall. "Now Im Cary Grant."
