In all honesty, I don't know what one song can change.

There are so many artists who get to my age that get comfortable and just stick in a groove, and I really don't want to do that.

For me, my entry point, when I was old enough, was the skinhead/suedehead thing, sort of like '70/'71. People didn't have much money - they would save up, or whatever - but everyone always dressed up. You'd go to a dance at the football club on a Thursday night and all of us kids - all of us from maybe like 12 to 16 - were all dressed up.

I want to hear as much music as I possibly can before I leave this mortal coil but it's impossible to hear it all because there's so much of it.

If you're into a certain band, you're into the way they dress.

When I got into the Beatles, I must have only been about six or seven but old enough to take notice. We used to have an old radiogram which, for readers of a certain age, was like a big cabinet thing with a record player inside it.

It's a global fashion thing; because of the Internet it has gotten really small. It's cluttered, but it's gotten small.
