Montreal's Myles Goodwyn Has A Reason To Play Rock 'n' Roll    by Marc Desjardins

• Canadian Composer, January 1982
• Interview with Myles Goodwyn. Likes to drive fast in his BMW. Loves iced vodka. Loves to think about new baby (not born yet as of this interview). Likes to play with his cocker spaniel "Marty". Talks about his approach to songwriting. Wrote "Just Between You & Me" in 45 minutes. Myles would like to find AW's "airy" sound again, like they had "...before we fell into the tighter rock, the more violent stuff."  He is playing around with "...jazz-funk ideas on brass insrtuments." Myles' mother died when he was 12, his dad threw him out when he was 17.  Forever For Now is "April Wine's masterpiece", El Mocambo is "disappointing". Myles takes refuge in his chalet in Ste Agathe to write. Basement recording studio covered with posters of Pagliaro and Walter Rossi, gold and platinum records are hung all around the house. Myles provides tips for young composers. Myles has "strong family attachments" and hates to leave them behind. Myles "...often wears a mask, like a shield against the flood of people I have to deal with constantly. It's a shell that protects me, but it falls away as soon as I'm with friends...".
