My take is that the kind of complexity which says we can always generate complexity from simple interactions following for example rules.

Ninety percent of all music is always crap, and when too many people decide they're going to have guitar bands, then ninety percent of them are going to be crap. It's just a given law.

I wave to the double-decker buses from my bike, but the passengers never wave back. Why? Am I not an attraction?

I've been asking myself: 'Why put together these things - CDs, albums?' The answer I came up with is, well, sometimes it's artistically viable. It's not just a random collection of songs. Sometimes the songs have a common thread, even if it's not obvious or even conscious on the artists' part.

I have trouble imagining what I could do that's beyond the practicality of what I can do.

Personally, being somewhat envious of Richard's (Thompson) songwriting and guitar playing, it's somewhat satisfying he's not yet achieved household-name status. It serves him right for being so good.

My favorite time of day is to get up and eat leftovers from dinner, especially spicy food.
