When my parents got divorced, my dad took the Stones records and my mom took the Neil Young records, so I guess this record is my way of getting the albums back together.Aww.
The interviewer also brought up "The King is Dead" reaching #1 on the Billboard 200 chart, and he asked What if the records keep selling? Why couldn't the band be superstars? Meloy thought about that and then responded,
I am reminded of when we were recording the album and we would play a song for the label guys, and they would go, "Hey, that sounds like a hit -- in 1987." Then we'd play another. "Hey, that's a hit, too -- in 1991." In other words, I think we missed the boat.

I read that same article in the New Yorker. Did you read the latest Scientology article? So crazy.
ReplyDeleteYes! That article was really interesting (and totally crazy, as you would expect considering the subject matter). Did you also see the Tina Fey article in the same issue? I loved it and found it really funny and endearing (and it further cemented my love for Tina). I was planning on posting a quote or two from it in a future post. Isn't The New Yorker so great?!
ReplyDeleteAnd even though I know how very far apart we are...it helps to think we're reading the same articles underneath the same big sky. Somewhere out there.
Also, I assume this is Whitney? I have a 50% chance of being right.
Yeah. This is whitney. I'm just too lazy to change what I'm signed in as.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Tina Fey article. It was a much more mature take on working mothers than you usually see. There was so much in the scientology article that I never knew about that organization. It really freaked me out that people are still signing on (in the thousands) for cults like that.
I love the New Yorker!

Aside from my New Yorker subscription, Eagan is the best thing that ever happened to me.
