After the break of BAD ENGLISH John Waite vanishes into thin air for a while and he´s heading for Italy. After several months spending brooding intensively („Total emptiness in my head“) he returns back home to Lancaster. „One day I will move back here for good“, he avows. „I love this landscape, the fens, and sheep, the lonely nights. I would love to have real roots. I´m into the idea having one base in life, but I never had the chance to unpack. Bits of my life are in crates everywhere in the world. England is the only place I could unpack forever“, he says. „Americans question me about the so-called culture shock, living here and coming back there, but they don´t understand. All the things I see in Lancaster, the faces of the people, their joy and pain, their ideas, the ways of life - That´s me.
Seeing them, I´m only looking at myself.“
