The Prospect Of Music Being Detachable From

When I Was Young, An Eccentric Uncle Decided To Teach Me How To Lie. Not, He Explained, Because He Wanted Me To Lie, But Because He Thought I Should Know How It's Done So I Would Recognise When I Was Being Lied To.

Except In A Few Cases Like Music For Airports, Which Was A Very Clear Case Of Noticing A Niche [and] Saying, "okay, There's This Situation In Which People Always Play Music, And Nobody Has Written Music For That Situation So I'm Going To." So, That Was A Very Clear Example Of Spotting A Niche And Working For It. I Have Done That Occasionally.

The Point About Working Is Not To Produce Great Stuff All The Time, But To Remain Ready For When You Can.

The Idea That Something Is Uncool Because It’s Old Or Foreign Has Left The Collective Consciousness.
