In 1994, when John M. Borack and I were both working separately on a power pop issue of Goldmine, I did a an e-mail interview with Gary Littleton to provide some color commentary for my history of power pop.? I particularly liked one of Gary's quotes, and used it to close the article:
"All my life I've searched for those perfect pop songs that would get into my brain and make me want to play them over and over.? In addition to the pop Nirvana I get from hearing them the first time, those are also the songs that, years later, will transport me back to when I heard the song, and help me remember in vivid detail the sights, smells and even the way I was feeling when I heard the song.? When I look back into my past, it's a winding trail of events marked by great songs."
Which is why we're all here.? Rest in peace, Gary.
