Somebody Else Is Satisfied By Five Bentleys.

It Was Disturbing To Me That An Idea Or A Song Could Become Something So Different From What You Originally Intended. It's Like If A Friend Took A Stupid Picture Of You At A Party On Their Phone, And The Next Thing You Knew, It Was On Every Billboard.

I'm Always Looking For Older Equipment And Ways Of Recording, But You Can't Escape The Fact That It's All Going To Be Digitized And Reduced. I Do Think Music Sounds Better When It's On Tape And More Simply Recorded. I've Been Arguing With People For 10 Years About Tape Versus Digital, And I Believe Tape Is Absolutely Essential In Getting The Sound That's Conducive To The Enjoyment Of Music. I Wonder If It's Going To Go Back To That. Sometimes I Think It Has To. As Music Becomes More Computer-based, It's Lost Some Emotional Impact.
