You didn't stop by the record store.

You disappeared into it.

You'd tell your parents you'd "be right back," then spend the next hour flipping through albums, reading the backs, checking out cover art, arguing with your friends about which one was worth buying, and discovering bands you'd never heard before.

Nobody was in a hurry.

The record store wasn't just where you bought music—it was where you found it.

Sometimes you'd leave with a new album.

Sometimes you'd leave empty-handed.

But you never left without discovering something.

That's why ten minutes somehow turned into an hour... every single time.

Good man Billy

Billy Connolly’s take on holidays is absolutely hilarious. 😂

He has never hidden the fact that he’d much rather stay at home than spend his time sightseeing, scuba diving or squeezing in endless activities on holiday. In this brilliant quote, he jokes that his perfect break involves lying in bed with cups of tea, football and television, while fearing that his wife Pamela Stephenson will persuade him to spend the day walking around Japanese gardens or kayaking to deserted islands.

It’s a great example of what made Billy such a brilliant storyteller. He could take an everyday subject that most people have an opinion on and turn it into a routine packed with sharp observations and laugh-out-loud lines.

Reading this, you can almost hear Billy’s voice delivering every word.

Huey: This is pop music. And so we are in fact trying to reinvent the wheel. That's exactly what we're trying to do. When you're done, you want something that sounds at once original but also like every other song you ever heard. And that's the game. That's the little puzzle when you try and write a pop song.
