The year before, we'd bought a TRS-80 instead of an Apple II, and in due course we'd unbox Mattel's Intellivision, instead of Atari's legendary gizmo. This was good training for a writer, for the sooner you accept the fact that you are a deluded idiot who is always out of step with reality the better off you will be. ↗

I don't write songs thinking about formats, where is it going to get played, who am I gonna please, what's the outlet for it. ↗
