Mike Preston
- Interviewer: Mike, now you're a singer with an increasingly large following. Your ideas are projected through the mass media and, therefore, get to be known by an enormous number of people. What is it, exactly, that you're trying to say?
- Mike Preston: Well, I don't think my ideas carry very far as such. I don't believe that. I think you'd be over-estimating both the audience and me if you thought they did. You know sometimes the audience are much faster than I am to get the joke. I mean, neither of us are faster than each other. It's a... there's a complete interchange. You know, they feel things, I feel things and we do it together. It's not a process of... it's life
- Interviewer: So there's a very strong relationship?
- Mike Preston: Yeah, it's better... it's a different relationship than it used to be within the music
- Interviewer: Yeah. What practical changes would you like to help to bring about?
- Mike Preston: Well, I'll have to change my underpants some time next month. Yeah, but apart from that... and the weather... I think actually the way we live with each other could change, can change, can't change... actually it can't, no. I'd like to see it change a lot faster than it can.
