At The Same Time, You Don't Want

I Figure It's Okay To Make Certain Rules, Whether Or Not People Despise You For It At The Time.

Every Recording Session And Tour Is A Very Valuable Time To Me In Terms Of Getting To Spend Time With The Musicians - Whether They're Friends And Family Or People I've Just Met - Because I Don't Have A Job Where I Get To Interact With People Everyday.

Whenever I See Something That Looks Like It Could Be Good - Whether It's On Vinyl, Cd Or Cassette - If It's Not Too Expensive, I'll Take A Chance.

The Songs Are Not Meant To Be Real Life. They're Meant To Have A Psychic - Rather Than A Factual - Bearing On The Listener. It's Rare That A Song Grounded In Reality Moves Me Because I Don't Feel Like I'm Getting The Whole Story. Songs Are Made To Exist In And Of Themselves, Like A Great James Jones Or Robert Louis Stevenson Novel - They're Not Autobiographical, And Yet There's A Reality In Every Single Page. It's Real Life Of The Imagination.

There's Very Little Admirable About Being A Pirate. There's Very Little Functional About A Pirate. There's Very Little Real About A Pirate.
