Wit & Attitude Quote by Dave Davies

Dave Davies is doing a careful, very rock-and-roll balancing act: validating the weird without marrying it. He opens with a kind of backstage intimacy - “people that I’ve met” and “seem very genuine to me” - the language of someone used to judging authenticity by vibe, not peer review. That matters. In pop culture, sincerity is a currency; Davies spends it to grant these “abduction experiences” a provisional respectability.

Then he pivots. The key word is “confused.” It’s a soft landing that keeps empathy intact while quietly relocating the story from extraterrestrials to psychology, trauma, memory, or simply the human need for narrative. Confusion becomes the explanation that doesn’t feel like an accusation. He isn’t saying they’re lying; he’s saying they don’t know what they’re looking at.

The repetition - “genuine,” “very genuine,” “a lot of people like” - reads less like rigorous evidence and more like someone talking himself into a position that won’t get him pinned down. That’s the intent: stay open enough to sound curious, stay skeptical enough to avoid becoming a punchline.

The blunt tag at the end, “but there’s a lot of crazy people out there,” is the cultural pressure valve. It’s the disclaimer every celebrity learns: if you flirt with fringe belief, you must also signal you can still rejoin the consensus at will. Subtext: I’m not naive, I’m not recruiting, I’m not one of them - I just know some stories felt real.
