Q: “Do you find your recordings all over the place when in fact they’re not recordings at all – they’re air checks or club recordings illegally done?”

A: “I did a one-nighter in Copenhagen last week and when I was leaving the hotel to fly back to New York in the morning, a man came up to me and gave me a twenty typewritten pages. I didn't pay any attention to what it was. He introduced himself and he was very enthusiastic about it and I didn't really look. I got on the plane and looked at it. It was twenty pages of pirated tapes of mine, of mine, of me.”
