I Felt Pressured By Continuous Touring.

I Was Getting Monkees Monthly And There Was A Competition To Draw A Monkee. I Did A Caricature Of Micky Dolenz And Won 10 Pounds-a Fantastic Sum Of Money For Me Then. I Bought A Secondhand Tape Recorder, Which Further Launched Me. They've Been Very Responsible For Me Getting Started.

We Did A Gig At The Marquee And We Were Supposed To Be Paid Five Pounds But We Never Got It, And It Cost Us Something Like 10 Pounds In Petrol To Get There To Do It. So What We Did Was Steal Some Equipment From The Marquee.

Success Is Being Nothing But A Quote.

We Stole Their Babes And Mothers, Chiefs And Braves Although We Held The Whip, You Knew We Were The Real Slaves To Alchemy, Human Alchemy.

The Early Gigs Were Pretty Panicky - And Great, Sweaty Fun. We Were Brand New To Most People, And They Were Willing To Take Anything Brand New, For The First Time In Years.
