Damon Albarn is such an independent thinking, talented songwriter. One of the best of my generation. He follows no trends, and in fact creates his own trends and styles at the same time as being one of those artists that voices his opinions, regardless of any possible backlash that it attracts. A wonderful artist.

When you have the same opinion as the mainstream media, the dominant political party, celebrities, and the majority of brainwashed people - you are NOT a rebel or an independent thinker. It's alright, i get the romanticising of someone you don't actually know, but don't call it things it isn't.

Damon reminds me of David Bowie. As in he’s a legend all by himself. He’s just got something that reminds me of David, maybe the tamed voice range. Usually peaceful lyrics and compelling themes in almost all of his music. He knows what he’s talking about.

American here, I fell in LOVE with the Union Jack, the U.K when I heard The Good The Bad The Queen. It was a love message to his people, and that's why it was sought after as being "political" when it was a artistic rendition of the thoughts of the British people. It was fucking beautiful, it made me want to be from a different country. It made me see through their eyes, what the masses don't say and don't feel about and it was amazing. The U.K has my heart, if not all of it, but a very large piece.

Unfortunately, one of Damon's biggest follies is his ego. I love the guy, but he tends to seize the spotlight in any band he's in and command authority. Graham and Alex were known for having their creative efforts squandered somewhat by him while they were together in Blur, perhaps either because he had malicious intent or he was just too excited about his own work, or some combination of the two. He isn't that bad about it, but it is noticeable.

@@k-leb4671 i honestly think its that he's passionate and excited. I'm working on a group project for a videogame right now, and i'm in charge of making the quest; I had a really solid idea and wrote 4-5 pages full of story, quests and monsters. Ended up accidentally taking 2 other people's jobs as they had to create monsters and story and I was solely focused on quests so I had to change it all. I was really bitter about it cuz I ended up trying to do it how I envisioned it with my own enemies and story. So yeah I don't think Damon really means to do it maliciously.

English identity crisis? Maybe. But Great Britain, United Kingdom .. Damon is wrong about Anglo Saxon roots. The myth of England in a nutshell. No wonder we're all confused, or constantly sold a pig in a poke. But the music sums everything up perfectly. Neither Leave nor Remain. We are what we are. Let's focus on that.
