While we had a reputation as rampaging sexual vandals, the truth is that most of the time we were looking for nothing at bedtime other than a good paperback. But magic does intrigue me. Magic of all kinds. I bought Crowley's house to go up and write in. The thing is, I just never get up that way.

Groups like Deep Purple and Black Sabbath had lost the point, if they ever had it, and I thought Led Zeppelin had lost the point too, around the time of In Through The Out Door. And at our very best we could just wipe the floor with the lot of them. Every record is a portrait of the band at that time. It was an album market at the time. So each album reflected where we were, mentally, at the time.
