We put all their names on the outside of the overhead bins. – Herb Kelleher

Astrid S I just want to make good music, and as long as I’m happy with it, the charting isn’t that important to me. Although, the best feeling is having a song you’re very happy with and also having it at Number One! – Astrid S
