Mike Ragogna: On the other hand, I’d bet you people would pay good money for that. Nick, since you’ve had such an incredible career, what advice would you give to new artists?

Nick Lowe: Well, it’s a very tough question, that, because I think it’s much more difficult now than it was when I started. It was very straight ahead when I started out–you just had to practice, and eventually you got noticed, whereas now, you don’t really have to practice, you just have to have a bit of an idea and get on the internet. But everybody else is doing that. So, there’s this sort of tsunami of ideas out there, and getting your idea in front of the public for them to notice is incredibly hard. I really don’t know. I don’t really even know if there will be a pop business in a few years’ time. Things are changing so much that it’s really very difficult for me to give anybody any advice.
