From the day that I met Tom, he was, like, a dear friend. And we had the same sense of humor, the same musical sensibilities.

In his memoir, Alex James reflects on Blur's reunion and the previously tumultuous dynamics, sharing humorous anecdotes about each member's journey since their last meeting.

Mason reflects on the moment he was ousted from Traffic, stating, 'I don't like the way you write. I don't like the way you sing. I don't like the way you play. And we don't want you in the band any more.' This stark dismissal left Mason in shock, crushing his dreams of being in the band he admired the most. His subsequent career, though successful, is seen by him as a fallback to the loss of this ideal collaboration.
