bizarre call
This is the most bizarre call I've ever had. It was something you'd see on 'COPS,' but not something you go out and do.

It's a great honour to have the dean of Coventry Cathedral conducting the service. It will be a very moving occasion.
blondie ended modern record rule signed song
Our only rule was that everything had to come from before we signed our first record deal. The Blondie song ('Hanging on the Telephone') is the most modern one on there. Most of it ended up being from between 1970 and 1973.
ape love people songs stones
That's why 60,000 people go ape when the Stones play 'Satisfaction.' The songs are part of their legacy, and you fall back in love with them over the years.

I love the fact we're still on the road. I was born to be a factory worker really, so for me the chance to get on stage at Wembley 30 years after we started is amazing.

I saw the Stones three years ago at the Wiltern Theater in L.A. and that was mind blowing.

It's big production. It's huge. It's using studio technology to your benefit. You don't go in and play live and then just take the tapes and get them mastered. You have to create.
soccer football thinking
As much as I am a huge soccer fan, music just kills it when it comes to importance. I could go to a desert island without a football and survive happily, but if I had to go without music, I think I'd end up killing myself. It fuels my soul. It always has.
breaths
The Vatican takes your breath away.
two america rocks
Every town in America had at least one, two, or maybe three radio stations that played rock 24 hours a day. In England, we had a rock specialist on for two hours a week.
manhattan bigs fingers
Manhattan's always fascinating, too, just a big, stinky, smelly conglomeration of numbered avenues and streets, but it's just got a vibe that's hard to beat. I shouldn't like it, but I do. I can't put my finger on it.
soccer passion two
Music and soccer. They would be my two major passions.
