Roddy Doyle, “The Commitments”
Influences

He judged on one question: influences.

— Who’re your influences?

— U2.

— Simple Minds.

— Led Zeppelin.

— No one really.

They were the most common answers. They failed.

— Jethro Tull an’ Bachman Turner Overdrive.

Jimmy shut the door on that one without bothering to get the phone number.
