If New Orleans is allowed to die, a crucial part of the world's music heritage will disappear.
From Ray Davies
I've written so many songs about Englishmen, I have to go elsewhere.
I'm susceptible to that sort of thing - to walls and flowers. You can probably get something more from a wall than a person sometimes. It's just put somewhere.
I'm easy driving, But I'm not a person who loves living pleasantly above all else. I'm not that way at all. I might think I'm that, but I'm not really that.
I was an art student at the time, like thousands of others.
I think that songwriting changed when groups started spending more time in the studio.
I still like to keep tapes of the few minutes before the final take, things that happen before the session. Maybe it's superstitious, but I believe if I had done things differently - if I had walked around the studio or gone out - it wouldn't have turned out that way.
I like surfers. Their imagery, it's great.
I got that idea from being in India. I always like the chanting.
I don't think England is that gray but India is like a long drone.
