Excerpts
“I write to find out about myself as well. It was one way to find out about that time. I think I'm wiser for having written the stuff I did then and I'm hoping when people listen to it that they're going to get a bit wiser and it may do other things for them, as well.”
Richard Butler, The Psychedelic Furs, page 10
“People became overly serious about guitar sounds and the style of the record and putting classical music with it. One of the things people forgot was that if you drop some of the instruments out and let more space and let the real melodies and feelings come through, you get a lot more interesting a track out of it.”
Billy Idol, page 14
“You talk about a concentration of creeps in one business-all the way from the DJs to the performers to the record company owners. It's somewhere between a home for geeks and just plain dishonest people, you know. The ones that aren't dishonest are all brain-damaged or they have ego problems or something.”
Iggy pop, page 16
