Mark Edwards Quotations

Many of the songs on the new record underwent drastic changes in arrangement, tempo and dynamics with the addition of the other band members.

Of course I don't miss the snow, the dirty air, the poverty, crime etc. The longer I'm away from it, the harder it seems to be to go back.

Ideally, what you would like to have eventually is such a unique and identifiable brand that when someone says 'Indiana State University,' they know exactly what that means. And that takes a long time coming.

I have always abhorred the business end of music.

We've found about 200 road-rage deaths over a period of several years, compared to the 17,000 a year caused by drunk driving. Some states are considering pretty severe penalties, trying to rewrite laws so that road rage has some specific legal consequences. We're not sure that's appropriate.

He's a computer geek, ... I think he knew more about MacIntosh computers than the state's witness did. I'm not sure how much the jury caught, but he seemed to be pretty pleased.

I also spend a lot of time on political blogs, and music blogs getting things for my radio show.

I would think they will have some pretty good success at leasing the building, especially with the amenity of on-site parking.

I think it's going to be very large, over 200. Which is good for the first year.

People are essentially losing their temper for things that have nothing to do with the act of driving.

I tell parents, you know, if you're worried about your child's safety and they're a teen-ager, you need to be worried about them driving a car, because that's the thing that's most likely to take their life.

Mostly though this desire just springs from an idea for a guitar lead, or vocal melody etc. that I come up with well after the recording is finished.

We need to equip ourselves with specific skills, such as change management, business process consulting and human resources in order to have an edge over competing markets or countries.

We are not racist. We are not anti-immigrant. We are for legal immigration. I don't care what race, color, creed you are. Come through the front door (legally), we'll celebrate and have a party. Come through the back door, we'll kick you out.

Those motions were a kind of wish list of things any defense lawyer would want to find. And it looks like that wish list is coming true.

We are on the right path, and we're going to stay the course, ... The bottom line is we want all of our students to succeed and to be proficient. That's our goal.

We're doing what we can. We think it's a worthy cause.

To me, all war is failure for humanity, though it often is a bounty for commerce.

Either way, it could affect the reliability of her identification. If she was so impaired that she was falling down drunk, it can't help but damage her credibility.

Everything will be burned as fuel or recycled.

At the time I attempted to purchase the rights back for the 3 Homestead records, but the owner demanded an outrageous sum in the neighborhood of $10,000, about 10 times more money than I could get my hands on at the time.

Even at a $200 million IPO valuation, if you can get it, you're not getting anything like venture-like returns.

Even at a $200 million I.P.O. valuation, if you can get it, you're not getting anything like venture-like returns.

There's so much spotlight on it, they helped us.

There's nothing remotely interesting to me about marketing music as a product.

saying you can't chew gum and walk at the same time.

Primarily I met my wife in Chapel Hill in 1997. We kept up a long distance relationship for a couple of years before I moved here permanently in 2000.

This gave me an out of the contract and I decided not to do the record with Homestead. After that, they stopped sending me statements.

This is a market where these strategies can work the best. It's a way that allows investors to actively be in the market.

They're about 90 percent water, ... They're a member of the cucumber family and are a fruit, not a vegetable.

A lot of people, I'm trying to calm them down. A lot of people are fired up and are starting to talk militant. A lot of people are angry about it. They say the next step, if Congress doesn't do anything, there will be violence in the streets.

There's a very long transition for this species. Milk is easier to digest, especially compared to bamboo, and is more nutritious.

It was a serendipitous arrangement, and I now have enough income that I am not in danger of homelessness if the next record doesn't make money.

It's a brilliant rhythm section. The vibe is there and it's really well rehearsed.

It is really people that are the problem and their behavior. I mean when is the last time you saw someone signaling a left turn,

I tried for several months last year to put together a band for live performance, but could never get everyone together on a consistent basis.

The OB department will be relocated on Monday (February 27) for the duration of the project. There won't be any disruption of patient care - they will simply be on a different floor.

That's one of the best Division III performances I've ever seen since I've been here. We were hanging close and all of a sudden they blow it open. They're a great team. They're experienced. They're well coached. They're No. 1.

Each of my records has a different focus, a different theme.

Everyone has other projects, other commitments, all with more upside for them than playing with a controlling old indie rock guy.

The turning point for me was when the Supreme Court installed Bush in 2000, even though he got half a million votes less nationally than Gore. It was nothing more than a bloodless coup and that's when I really started paying attention.

They lyrical content has grown more introspective and less abstract. I don't know if that's good or bad... Sometimes it feels a little raw to be putting so much of myself out there.

That's a little weird to me. Why would you be taking photos if nothing happened? Were they being taken to set up a defense?

I followed most of the 80's bands into the 90's as most of those folks who hadn't moved away were all still active. However, there was a point when I lost track of the new bands coming up.

I probably had the most fun recording For Richer For Poorer in Nashville.

I pretty much ignored politics all through my 20's and 30's... I had other things on my mind... the band, finding a meaningful relationship, getting enough money to eat and pay the rent.

I occasionally miss big city things, like major league baseball, a large art museum, more choices when shopping for musical equipment etc.

In my mid 30's, after a decade or so of giving full time to the music thing and finding myself with about $10 in the bank and no assets other than my musical equipment, I realized I needed to get serious about making a living.

I just heard about the church that burned 10 years ago. It just really did touch my heart. I've just kept up with them through the years.

Cleveland is the place I grew up and lived much of my adult life, so it will always be a part of my soul.

I don't think my music is changed enough. There are many songs that I end up scrapping because they sound too much like something I've done before.

I am pretty detached from the local music crowd though.

You can't get away from who you are I guess.
