While searching for information about the criminally underrated Clive Gregson recently, I found this interesting interview with Clive from 1999. Clive relocated to the USA and currently lives in Nashville. His comments about Nashville are funny, but also poignant:

I used to go to the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville and do these songwriters in the round. The most surreal one I saw in recent years featured Graham Gouldman from 10cc, who is, I think, one of the most sophisticated, brilliant pop songwriters of all time and around him were three country singer-songwriters singing absolute bilge about being lonesome in my saddle since my horse died. Graham was doing 'For Your Love', 'I'm Not In Love', 'Bus Stop' 'The Things We Do For Love', 'Heartful Of Soul' and other songs, and was getting no reaction. I was thinking, "This is another planet and these people do not understand that this is probably the most sophisticated pop music they're going to hear and all they want is bum-kerjing-ah, bum-kerjing-ah". It was bizarre.
