To me, nostalgia is nothing more than a mindless plundering of the past for the commonplace.

Because obviously the whole purpose of putting records out is purely and simply to make money.

But, in fairness to them, too, the popular song per se is really a pretty shallow medium to perform in.

Because Chicago was to radio what Hollywood was to films and Broadway was to the theatre: it was the hub of radio.

To me, nostalgia is nothing more than a mindless plundering of the past for the commonplace.

I got into radio when I was eight, and I was one of the busiest child dramatic actors in America.

I'm going to continue to talk to the people, because I do believe that if they get to know you and what you are as a human being, they can more appreciate what you are as a performer.
