On recording The Lace in England: “…no sun, constant wind, drizzle and clouds — just misery. The highlight of the day was, like, dinner.” — “The Rewards of Rock Stardom” by Jim Sullivan, The Boston Globe, November 1, 1986

Yep, he did not like England one little bit. He wanted to record in Boston.

I loved reading this remark by Ben about being in England. I don’t think I read about his dislike about the weather over there. I need to find the rest of these interviews. Thanks for posting, Donna!!!

I remember the MTV interview with Mark Goodman, Ben did not sound thrilled about being over there to record The Lace. At least he had dinner to look forward to!

Poor Ben, at least he had Diane with him, and, wonderfully, got to meet and sing back-up on a Joanie Mitchell album.

I, like most, if not all of us, am enchanted, delighted, besotted by ‘our’ beautiful and supremely talented Ben, so I was not being mean to him with the above comment. I get the point the others commenters were making.
