I found a page of scribblings [on Jack Kerouac’s On the Road ]. It wasn’t really disturbing or dark or anything…the important thing that stuck with me was that the page was dated ‘1st June, The 1975’. At the time I just thought that the word ‘The’ preceding a date was a strong use of language. I never thought it would be something that would later come to be so important. When it came to naming the band, it was perfect.
