came marching mind
I just like being around marching band, and Southside was the first that came to mind,
alan club excellent neil service thank work
The club would like to thank Alan and Neil for their excellent service over the years and thank them for all the work they have done.
soccer football thinking
As much as I am a huge soccer fan, music just kills it when it comes to importance. I could go to a desert island without a football and survive happily, but if I had to go without music, I think I'd end up killing myself. It fuels my soul. It always has.
song fall years
That's why 60,000 people go ape when the Stones play 'Satisfaction.' The songs are part of their legacy, and you fall back in love with them over the years.
song writing keys
When we try to write a pop song, we go for standard pop arrangements, even to the point where we will go to the key change at the end, which is really cheesy.
hate thinking fake
With Los Angeles, it's kind of a love-hate thing. Sometimes I think it's marvelous, and sometimes I think it's a dump. It's so fake and I can't deal with how fake it is.
dream names airports
We used to have our own plane with the band's name on the side. It was a dream come true. You drive to a local airport. There's none of this checking in stuff; you just get on the plane.
years europe cities
I've always liked traveling around Europe and seeing the architecture. The buildings in capital cities have been there for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. Some look better than the new ones.
different get-up stage
I don't really feel any different when I get up on stage.
manhattan bigs fingers
Manhattan's always fascinating, too, just a big, stinky, smelly conglomeration of numbered avenues and streets, but it's just got a vibe that's hard to beat. I shouldn't like it, but I do. I can't put my finger on it.
country rocks england
In England, rock music very rarely infiltrates the charts, but country music even less so.
soccer passion two
Music and soccer. They would be my two major passions.
holiday parent firsts
The best holiday I ever had was the first one I went on without my parents, when I was 17.
views giving world
To be honest, I'm a bit of a snob now; give me a Four Seasons anywhere in the world and I'm happy. Also, they've just opened a Ritz-Carlton in County Wicklow, Ireland, which is stunning and has great views.
