1 Age

  • 3. The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band but now they are really another band so it's all a bit weird.

5 Architecture

  • 1. What's fascinating about D.C. the exteriors are these elaborate structures this gorgeous architecture and beautiful stonework and then you go inside and it's crap-looking – apart from the White House which is beautiful.

  • 3. Rationalism is the enemy of art though necessary as a basis for architecture.
