Q. I dabble in recording, but I promise not to say anything more about that. What I'm wondering is, knowing now what you didn't know when you began in the music 'industry', was it worth it? How would you do things differently? Having skimmed through Without You: The Tragic Story of Badfinger, it seems like the just about the worst shark-infested waters imaginable.

PS Wrapped in Grey has kept me warm & smiling on even the darkest days - thanks!

A. Me ol' pal Long Tom. Was it all worth it? That's a bloody huge question. To get it down to a manageable lump I'd say YES It has to be really as I can't do much of anything else.


For anybody thinking of getting into the music mincing machine, don't. If you REALLY must you must, but it can hurt like hell. Would I do any of it differently? Yes, ALL of it. But then I wouldn't be me then would I? It's no good torturing yourself about past "what ifs", remember only a dog returns to his vomit.


I'm sure the record business ranks up there with the drugs trade, the arms industry and the film world.

PS. It's a toss up between Wrapped in Grey and a duffel coat.
