making a serious go at a musical
career. “He was more destined
to do this at a younger age than
I was and I came to it at a very
young age, but he had no other
interests…” he recalled. “The economics of the music business are
so different now, that we did want
Adrian to go to college, and we
have said the dreaded words to
him — ‘You should have something
to fall back on,’ but it’s like talking
to a brick wall. The one thing he
has going for him is that he is not
materialistic in the least — which
is going to come in handy, I’m
afraid…”
After not recording for decades,
Brent swears it won’t take that
long for another release. In fact,
when he heard “Psycho” for the
first time, he began thinking of all
the things they could have done.
Brent says he wanted Lyle to write
a guitar track for him to write on
like “I Don’t Mind At All” but he
was too busy. When he finally
did it, it was too late, but it could
mean the beginning of the next
record.
“I believe that everything happens in the order it does for a
reason; we just might not be able
to discern the reason. Everything
happened the way it was supposed to,” he says when asked
if he ever wonders what if Bourgeois Tagg hadn’t broken up. But
then he thinks about his own personal demons and realizes there
was only one path for him if he
kep t going that way. “I’d be dead
or in jail, or at the very least divorced.”
And that’s one reason he’d prefer
to not look back.
