I was a beatnik in the '50s before the hippies came along.

Zef is like dirt, it's like scum. There was no zef movement before we came along.

People were making fun of redheads before I came along.

In 1983, before computers came along, it wasn't easy to do electronic basslines and rhythms.

I struggled for 15 years in this business before Miami Vice came along.

I wasn't a very discriminating reader. I read just about everything that came along.
