“America radio has steadfastly refused to play anything I’ve been associated with on which I personally draw money, although I played on some tunes for a man called Bowie a while ago. I did actually hear the piece Fashion popping up on radios in all very strange places. All over the place I would hear that and I get awfully excited. I wouldn’t like you to think I’m a very kind of ‘cool’ professional musician but when I hear myself playing away on the radio I get so excited. I would even have asked him for his autograph but I felt it was kind of tacky.”
