The music industry is a strange combination of having real and intangible assets: pop bands are brand names in themselves and at a given stage in their careers their name alone can practically gaurantee hit records.

At my age the only problem is with remembering names. When I call everyone darling it has damn all to do with passionately adoring them but I know I'm safe calling them that. Although of course I adore them too.

You know you're getting old when all the names in your black book have M. D. after them.
