Science & Tech Quote by Graham Nash

"This digital world is completely fascinating to me"

About this Quote

There is something disarmingly human about a rock-era lifer admitting awe at the internet without pretending to own it. Graham Nashs line lands because it isnt a manifesto; its a small confession. Coming from someone whose career was built on analog intimacy - harmonies in a room, vinyl grooves, the slow chemistry of bands and scenes - "completely fascinating" reads as both curiosity and mild disbelief. Hes not declaring mastery. Hes granting the new world permission to surprise him.

The specific intent feels less like tech evangelism than a generational aside: Im still paying attention. Nash has always been a documentarian of feeling, and the digital world is, at its core, a massive feeling machine - connection, validation, outrage, nostalgia, fandom - all moving at algorithmic speed. Fascination is the safest honest word for that mix of wonder and unease.

The subtext: survival. In a music economy that has repeatedly rewritten the rules - from radio to MTV to Napster to Spotify - fascination becomes a posture that keeps an artist from turning into a museum exhibit. It also hints at the seductive bargain the digital era offers legacy musicians: global reach and instant community, traded for control, privacy, and the old gatekeepers they used to curse but also understood.

Context matters, too. Nash has been an outspoken photographer and archivist; digitization turns memory into something searchable, shareable, and perpetually present. For an artist whose work is tied to cultural time stamps, the digital world isnt just new tech. Its a new afterlife.
