HOWARD JONES: KWIK KWOTES!

HOWARD JONES: KWIK KWOTES!

Would you believe this guy once worked in a Saran Wrap factory? It’s true! “I was making it from big rolls into smaller rolls, so you could put them inside the packs and all,” he told us at ROCK-SHOTS. Boy, you’d think there’d be a song in there somewhere.

Ah, well—since those salad days, Howard Jones has developed into one of Britain’s hottest songwriters...and a pretty fast fellow with an opinion, too. Here’s a sample of what Howard thinks of just about everything!

“I don’t consider myself to be a poet or anything like that. ”

“When I was young, we were always moving every 18 months. My father always just wanted to move. He was never happy in one place. ”
