Auch von mir Danke für das nette Feedback!
Damit es nicht ganz so einseitig ist, noch ein Zitat mit gleichem Tenor aus einer ganz anderen Ecke:
David Crosby – Mojo, 2012
I walked in, and they were acting silly and strange and having fun, because I think they were thrilled with what they had done. They knew what they had created. They sat me down in the middle of a room on a stool, and they were laughing about it: they rolled over two of those huge, coffin-sized speakers up on either side of me, and then they played me A Day In The Life. And when they got to the end of the piano chord – man, I was dish-rag. I was floored. It took me several minutes to be able to talk after that.
…And then here was this blazing, glorious panoply of colour and sounds – it was fantastic. No-one had done an album where the songs felt so right together. They were way ahead of us. When I was a kid, we’d be standing around in some burger joint and somebody would put Day Tripper on, and I would get competive about it. I would feel we were almost nipping at their heels. But by the time they got Sgt Pepper – man, they were so far ahead of everybody … they hadn’t stretched the envelope, they’d thrown the envelope away. But it was inspiring, all I wanted to do was approach my music with the same freedom.“
