I'm horrified,

There is not that much of a generation gap these days.

We can use electronic instruments like synthesizers and sequencers and things like that. I'm not sure this is what's going to happen, but the last time we were in the studio, like months ago now, we were fooling around with an MPC groove box and some keyboards. We were only in there a few days but we came up with a few things that were very promising. They were the type of thing that two people could perform, maybe three. I love working with a big band, and if there's any way we could do it, that's what I would do, [but] the music business is so crazy right now.

It was a happenin' place -- the Ramones lived there, Debbie Harry, Ornette Coleman, Allen Ginsburg. ... It was a time when we just went for it.

We get these overzealous young men and their girlfriends. It's happened occasionally where one of them will lean up against the front of the stage and the guy is behind her, and it starts off as just dancing and then it gets into something more.

We're the Tom Tom Club and our studio is the Clubhouse. It a way of making it a little more personal.
