Be a military flier or be in a band; those were the two hippest things I could imagine.
From Nick Lowe
I suppose I was waiting until I was old enough to have some sort of experience to sing about. When you're young, it's hard to sing the blues. Nobody believes you.
I work very hard on getting the songs as direct and examined as I can before I go in the studio.
I'm playing to the sort of people who like the same records.
If a hit came along, I wouldn't be unhappy about that. But I'm a bit too old for that now-doing videos and all those types of TV shows. I've kind of done all that, in the '70s.
In the '70s, you had to come up with an album every year whether you were ready or not.
The number of contemporary artists who appeal to me is infinitesimal.
They tell me I produced songs. I just stood in the back, wore a good suit and said, Yeah, that's happening.
When somebody like Elvis Costello comes along, anybody can make a good record with him.
