#tbt almost 11 years ago. Where does time go??
#PerGessle in one of the best ever interviews with him (Australia, 2012): ”When I was a teenager of course I was the biggest David Bowie fan in Sweden. I started actually writing songs, I couldn’t play any instruments. I started writing melodies in my head and writing lyrics. And I was really influenced by persons like Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen and that kind of stuff as well, but I didn’t really dare to play until the punk movement came. You know, when it was like OK to be bad. Sort of fit me perfectly.” /PP

We’ve lost another big one. Alan Rickman. That makes 5 in a very very short time: Natalie Cole, Scott Weiland, Lemmy, David Bowie and Alan Rickman. RIP.
What a song!!!!! Incredible. /P.

Roxette – Interview and Listen to Your Heart – www.dailyroxette.com
Interview about Look Sharp! on Swedish TV-show from 1987 followed by the original video for Listen to Your Heart.
One of #PerGessle’s main influences inspired him a million times more than the Swedish rhyming dictionary. 😉 PG told this about one of the standout concerts he has ever attended: ”David Bowie’s Station To Station tour came to Gothenburg in 1976. I was 17 and the biggest Bowie fan – it was mind-blowing. I felt so silly when I got there in platform shoes and he looked like Frank Sinatra on stage. Everyone looked like Ziggy Stardust except him. It was fantastic.” /PP

Today BMI uploaded a short video interview with #PerGessle to their YouTube channel. It’s from 2008 when Per and MP got the Million-Air Award for LTYH being played more than 4 million times on American radio and television. Since then both LTYH and IMHBL are over 5 million plays. YouTube views of the official videos to the songs are still growing like hell. IMHBL is close to 100 million and LTYH to 80 million. Awesome! /PP
