If status Quo is where it is today, with a career that stretches over five decades, it is not thanks to their talent. They are neither a legend like other British rock bands that were also born within the 60’s, from The Who to Led Zeppelin. No member died from an overdose at the peak of his glory, nobody bought a magician’s manor… Well, there is nothing to add sulphur to their story. So if you are wondering why we still speak of Status Quo in 2013, why there are still fans to see them play live with stars in their eyes, all you need to do is ask Francis Rossi, eternal frontman of the Quo, who will explain that they were above all “very, very lucky”.
Having never been the first in their musical genre, they can fairly well do their “Hard Day’s Night” fifty years after The Beatles with their movie Bula Quo! released last summer… It is not serious, they are perfectly aware of that, and that’s what is good about it. Rock’n’roll itself is not such a serious matter and considering what Status Quo does as an art is a joke topic according to Rossi. That he stresses in this interview: the one who some may nickname the “Grumpy Old Man of Rock and Roll” shows a sense of humour and a very British self-derision and even speaks about offering a sequel to this movie. No doubt that if he had to do everything all over again, he would do it exactly the same.
