When certain bootleg companies started off and they would take maybe ten per cent of whatever they got and help fuel new bands which I'm cool with I think that's a good idea. Most of the record companies are not doing that.
When I decided to launch my first knitwear line it was because I saw a void in the basics category. The editors were always looking for cool fashion-forward tees and sweaters. So that's where I started.
I could finally quit my job as a bartender and stop dreaming that I might be Superman and know that I was. Then I started thinking about how cool it was.
There's a lot of gimmick infringement out there but that's cool. It's a compliment. But it all started right when I first came into the Garden. I came down to 'Eye of the Tiger' and when I hit the ring with the Sheik I just put my hand up to my ear by accident and the crowd got louder. I was like 'Oh that works.'
When the first computers started to come in we tried to digitalize the seismological equipment.
There were no PCs when I started programming on computers.
I started getting into Internet technologies and computers. I wasn't especially interested in being a musician but I wound up finding my way back to being interested in music through computers.
That's the new way - with computers computers computers. That's the way we can have the cell survive and get some new information in high resolution. We started about five years ago and today I think we have reached the target.
I started on an Apple II which I had bought at the very end of 1978 for half of my annual income. I made $4 500 a year and I spent half of it on the computer.
I started on the use of the Internet for scientific communication. Our research group was one of the very first to make really systematic use of it as a way of managing research projects.
