Records were vitally important to the development of music and of all music cultures. With that being pushed by the wayside, I can't see an iPod uniting us.

Remaining childish is a tremendous state of innocence.
John Lydon

The record companies fell apart - quite deservedly. Their corrupting, all-binding contract nonsense had to stop.
John Lydon
Image
It's volatile, the marriage. Which one isn't? Nothing better than a good, full-on row. Get it all out. Say rude and nasty things. And then be sorry. Genuinely sorry, afterwards.

When you talk like an asshole and look like an asshole, you're an asshole

There are no limits to where our brains can take us. We are, if there be a God, God's gracious creation.

I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.

Dummy Dum Dum was my nickname for years at school. I was the strange one of the family, the one who couldn't remember his name.
