Why Mumford & Sons' Winston Marshall is going to change his tattoo and stop going by the nickname "Country Winston"
- GQ: Why the word "tour" [as a tattoo]?
- Winston Marshall: Um, because I love tour.
- GQ: Not "touring"? Not even "tour!" with an exhortatory or celebratory exclamation mark? Could you only afford the four letters?
- WM: Yeah, at the time... [He grins.] I'll add the 'ing' now. I know it's not very imaginative.
- GQ: While we're at it, why the nickname "Country"?
- WM: I'm not up for it any more; I'm going to change it. It was from an old band where we had pseudonyms. I kept it because I thought it was fun. There was Hillbilly Harry, Duvet Crocket, Kid Fiddler... The problem is, at the time, for me, country music meant bluegrass. Now I've spent time in America I've realised I don't actually like country music.

“It’s a massive thing and personally it does still feel like quite a accident but a massive honour to be in this band but we don’t think we’re the greatest band ever and we don’t think that we’re the only band anyone should listen to because we love too many other bands to say that but we are proud of what we do and love what we do and personally I just love it, I really love it, can’t get enough of it.” -Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons

![Marcus Mumford of Mumford & Sons with Patti Smith, Johnny Depp, and Bryan from The Signature Library backstage at the MusiCares Person Of The Year Honoring Bruce Springsteen in Los Angeles on February 8, 2013. According to Bryan:
In between performances I spent most of the evening hanging out backstage, spotting Johnny Depp as he came by to say hello to Marcus Mumford and Cary Mulligan [sic]. As I was introduced to Marcus & Carey by Johnny, the legendary Patti Smith came over and joined our little circle. As we were all chatting, another rock n’ roll icon, Neil Young was walking by and about to take the stage but not before stopping to say hello to Depp, when he was teased by Marcus Mumford not to get nervous, saying, “Don’t Fuck up Neil, Don’t fuck it up”.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/ae84be66f1b15e7552c423816e72581a/tumblr_mj4ggl8ngt1qjeqwxo1_1280.jpg)

“I think we’ve realized we’re not really a folk band, and we don’t wanna be a folk band. I think we just wanna be what we are.” - Marcus Mumford

- Interviewer: And how has the tour been going so far? We heard about the jerks who stole some of your stage gear in Perth, did it turn up?
- Ben Lovett: A stolen banjo was found in a bush but the rest of it will probably end up on eBay and we’ll just have to buy it back! Tour's been fun, we love touring down under!!

“A lot of the time it feels like… music is some sort of excuse to be a human. It’s kind of like people need that excuse to go and put their arms in the air and sing their hearts out.” - Marcus Mumford (x)

BUT, I’ve lost my jean jacket. BUT, Ted found my jean jacket!
Very nice. Very good. Yeah.
