The band is like a vintage car. You take it out to go for a spin for a couple miles, but you wouldn't drive across the country.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
If I played just one song from every album, I would be onstage for two and a half hours. No one wants a show that long.

You realize that the first Bryan Ferry album was pretty good although at the time it seemed a bit cheesy.
Robyn Hitchcock
Image
I became a musician because that's really what I wanted to do when I was fifteen, but I had other abilities.

One of the ideas behind doing this acoustic record is that I didn't want to have to produce it by committee.
