Tapes Quotes

In 1980, I moved to Chicago, and I recorded demo tapes for my friends’ bands, and in 1981, the first Big Black record - the first thing I did that was an actual record Picture Quote #1

I think the process of ‘SNL’ is still pretty formal. You make an audition tape, your agent sends it in, they watch people’s tapes, and then they invite people to perform at a comedy club in Los Angeles or New York. But I don’t know how much actual scouting they do online Picture Quote #1

I think those little things mean a lot to someone Picture Quote #1

I listen to tapes a lot. I have a car that only (has a cassette player). I like the nostalgic factor Picture Quote #1

I love the Digital Era! I grew up in a time that started from cassette tapes Picture Quote #1

The people I idolized I saw once a year on the Tony Awards. I would buy the cassette tapes of the various Broadway shows and scour the photos inside the recording package. That’s how I exposed myself to the arts - New York and professional theater felt like a very distant thing Picture Quote #1

Therefore, how can I not be thankful for this great gift? Picture Quote #1
