I'm sure there's some spice girls lurking in there, be safe, never shuffle in public.......
First album you bought:
I pinched The Best Of Neil Diamond on cassette from my parents, used to listen to Mr.Bojangles about a 1000 times a day. (Do you remember when you had to reverse the tape and fast-forward back through the track, I perfected getting it back to the first line every time...)
First gig you went to:
Blink 182 - I was only 11 and I had no idea what a mosh pit was, until it was too late.....

Favourite quote:
To be worth making at all, a journey has to be made in the mind as much as in the world of objects and dimensions. What value can there be in seeing or experiencing anything for the first time unless it comes as a revelation? And for that to happen, some previously held thought or belief must be confounded, or enhanced, or even transcended. What difference can it make otherwise to see a redwood tree, a tiger, or a humming bird?
