"STEAL THE NIGHT"

Things were getting really crazy and my bad habits and lifestyle were starting to catch up with me. Cindy was instrumental in pulling me through, and I managed to put all of that behind me. But I was probably still detoxing while making this record, which is really sort of a New Wave artifact and hasn’t dated all that well.

I advocated to have Bob Clearmountain mix it, but Cindy didn’t and regrets it to this day (as a sidebar, Cindy later married Dan Crewe who became Bob’s manager.)

We had fun, though, and Cindy’s management was Mainman, run by Tony DeFries, David Bowie’s manager. The staff were colorful and interesting people, and we did a lot of touring and television to promote the record. You could see us on American Bandstand, Don Kirschner’s Rock Concert, Midnight Special, etc. I now had two records on a major label as producer, both in the same year, so I was ecstatic about that.
