UT Quotes

NYC in late 77�1980 was in a magical zone of sorts. I had come from London after the swinging 60 & 70�s and NY actually blew my mind completely by being a place where ANYTHING was creatively possible! The scene that happened came about organically and spontaneously and burned out fast because it went against the �normal� grain of the way of things from the start. It was at once anarchic and inclusive: everyone was equal for the blink of an eye, so the field of possibilities just went wide open � BANG, just like that.

Jacqui and I were living in an apartment on 5th Street in 1978 and had begun writing songs together. We were going out and seeing a lot of bands and were interested in forming a band ourselves. A mutual friend of ours and Nina's, Peter Gordon, suggested that Nina might be a good person to play with. Jacqui knew Nina a bit and liked her and we'd seen her play with other people.
