Entertainment isn't just based on the very structured syndrome of European popular music, and it's great that there are so many thousands of people who are of the same opinion.

When I was young, people were almost identified solely by the kind of music they liked. People fell into categories of who liked what.

Music is subjective to everyone's unique experience.

Somehow in the 20th Century an idea has developed that music is an activity or skill which is not comprehensible to the man in the street. This is an arrogant assertion and not necessarily a true one.

I think music follows the trends of the collective conscious.

Songwriting isn't always something that's directly proportionate to the experience.

Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.

I wouldn't mind being popular in other ways, but not with music.

Your average pop song or film is a very sophisticated item, with very sophisticated ways of listening and viewing that we have not really consciously developed over the years - because we were having such a good time.
