That was a time when I did love music, I couldn't get enough of what was going on. Maybe it was Nirvana that brought me back. I guess it was a comfort because something that sounded so right - and non-commercial - had become so influential, so immediately.
In the place where I was a child, there were no artists and there was no art, so I really didn't know what that meant.
Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.
