...Beijing Symphony Orchestra and played in it for seven years. Things began to change in 1985, though, when the group Wham! gave a concert in Beijing. A year later, I heard my first Beatles tape. I learned to play an electric guitar. After that 1986 concert, I formed a band and made rock my life...
...Burren was maybe not the ideal venue for the band, since space was tight, but folks were definitely moving to old favorites like "Hurts So Bad," a jumping reggae romp with a mercilessly catchy beat.

I'm sorry, but you know what--I can get a seven string guitar, I can tune it down two steps...
...really think they're in it for the music; I think they're in it to make money and be on MTV. Yeah, once people started selling out and doing it for the money that's where everything went wrong. Because I still travel with my friend's band...it was all about friendship, and travelling, and having lots of fun. But then it started getting into money...and then it was all about money and not the music...
