Success is happiness
And a couple of =1 promotional interviews to wrap up the day.
German site aussiedlerbote.de has an interview with Ian Gillan, and it’s in English:
Is there a song on the new album that particularly touches your heart?
I like them all. But “Old-Fashioned Thing” is probably my favorite. In that song, there are interesting riff exchanges, classic Deep Purple vibes. Plus, the lyrics. In that song, it’s about a pen and the songwriting process. Very interesting, I find.
American Songwriter spoke to Ian Paice:
Paice then offered said his take on Gillan’s concept for the album.
“The important things we have, there’s one of,” he noted. “We have one sun. We have one planet. We have one life. And what that one life does, it’s sort of important. … It all comes down to you, the one. What you do. You know, make [the world] a better place, not a worse place. … That’s my look at it. Ian might say that’s totally wrong. Well, it’s wrong for him, but it’s right for me.”
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
The illustration on Aussiedlerbote is … one for the ages.

“n-tv.de: What message does the title “=1″ carry?”
So yeah, if you want to avoid redundant, repetitive articles, skipping the ones that have AI slop as illustrations may be a good start.

July 21st, 2024 at 12:38Haha, Reinder, go and tell me “which one is Pink?” 🙂 but in the absence of some pink – here’s some =1 for you… 😉
“Old-Fangled Thing,”, surely, which is much wittier.
