Just out of curiosity, I wonder what makes music or culture or taste go in certain directions. Who knows what the forces are behind it.

With modern recording techniques, and living in the Pro Tools era, the process gets really drawn-out, and it can become painstaking.

Every band I knew or played with had flyers and properly-recorded demos and contacts; I couldn't even get a gig.

I grew up I guess you'd say in the cassette era.

Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars.

When I did "Top of the Pops" for the first time, Ace of Base was one of the other bands, and I have a memory of them on a small stage next to me in the TV studio. A memory of their performance is burned into my mind. Seared.
