Love songs are nothing without exaggeration.

Shall I tell you what rock and roll is, Johnno, from someone who doesn’t perform, but observes? It’s restless and rude. It’s defiant and daring. It’s a fist shaken at age. It’s a voice that...

You know, people can’t fall in love with me just because I’m good at what I do.

If you’re not creating, you’re disintegrating.

Music helps to forgetThis forsaken tomb,That is my abodeCellars downFar belowUnder the ground, …

Scattered among these things are reminders that sound once existed: a metronome, a drumming pad, a guitar pick, a trumpet mouthpiece, a music stand, a tuning fork, a block of rosin…The older instruments bear the...
