It was relatively simple. Bob put himself in my hands. He just turned up - just his words on paper - no instruments, no musicians, no preconceptions. He just turned up on the doorstep and I built the studio. It's what I call a kitchen studio, so we played in the kitchen. I knew it would suit Bob because I knew Bob didn't have a lot of time for the studio. He didn't want people standing around scratching their heads, banging pianos or whatever. I sat down next to him, put a guitar in his hand and off we went. |

Money doesn't talk, it swears. |
Most kids have no faith in record labels anymore anyway, |
Music can save people, but it can't in the commercial way it's being used. It's just too much. It's pollution. |
