"I sort of forget how to tour. I turn into the bloke who just knows how to empty the washing machine and drive to the shops. Not the beloved entertainer. I find, if you start off by dressing up as the 'beloved entertainer,' it helps to bring it on."
"It was such a different time. I'm rather thrilled that you want to speak to me from the L.A. Times, because once, being a British entertainer going to Los Angeles was quite a big deal."
"I came with a group called Dr. Feelgood. Their tour manager Jake Riviera. I recall being mugged - twice - upon my first visit to L.A., in 1975, but holds no ill will toward the city."
Nick Lowe, at 78, shares insights on his upcoming tour and the importance of dressing the part. He reminisces about his early career, including hits like 'Cruel to Be Kind' and collaborations with Elvis Costello. Lowe recalls his first visit to Los Angeles in 1975, where he faced challenges but maintains a positive outlook. His latest album, 'Indoor Safari,' showcases his enduring talent, and he continues to perform with his band Los Straitjackets, celebrating a rich musical legacy.
