It is hardly surprising that the bond between grandmother and grandchild is often stronger than that between parent and child.

I think I sent one [book] to Brian Eno. I don't know how I got to know his address, but I sent one to him. He called me up and he said, "I really like the book, and I'm starting a new label, would you liked to do something?"
