I initially considered never having "dug" the whole synth era, as a serious 
disadvantage to my foray into music journalism.  And, if I'm honest, I was 
most correct.  I coulda done what any other self-respecting, competitive 
would-be journo would have done and surrounded myself in its sound - cooing 
and wowing over Factory's finest - but I just thought it was shite.  In the 
main.  

I felt I wouldn't be being true to myself, or my soul, if I did.  

So I didn't.  

And that's why I'll never amount to much more than I already am.  Certainly 
not in that field.

You're only as old as the vinyl you feel.  ;)
