Good morning all. An interview I was not familiar with surfaced from The Guardian in 1979. It was a bit different than usual and interesting, too.

Thanks for the link Linda, it was a new interview for me too. It does highlight just how quickly DS took off, and just how popular they were in the late 70's and early 80's, however I don't really agree with Mark's statement about Punk, that is just one form of music I can't abide, for me it has nothing, no redeeming qualities at all, I can't find anything to like about Punk at all, I wonder if Mark feels the same way now? I guess he was hearing a lot of it around that time anyway, plus his romantic involvement with Holly Beth Vincent would have had an influence too.
