I have the utmost respect for synthesizers - Soft Cell, early Depeche Mode. But that's become a cliche for the '80s.
I try not to become friends with musicians, but life happens and dinner happens and going out happens - it becomes interwoven in L.A.
The best bands kept making records and had this evolution, where by the end, by their commercial phase or sellout phase, the records are from outer space.
