Quote of the Day (Nick Lowe, on How Seeing His Bathroom Turned His Life Around)

“When I woke up in this bath, I had a terrible hangover. It was lunchtime, and I’d been up all night, carousing and talking bullocks, and I looked at this bathroom covered in limescale, this rock star’s stupid bathroom, and I thought, This is a real metaphor for what has happened.

And it did.”—British musician Nick Lowe, on the turning point in his life and marriage to Carlene Carter in the early 1980s, quoted in Nick Paumgarten, “The Talk of the Town: The Right Frames,” The New Yorker, September 19, 2011
