I Lost My Virginity When

I Don't Think I'd Ever Be Cruel To An Animal.

I Think It Was W.h. Auden Who Said He Was Lucky That His First Favorite Poet Was Thomas Hardy, Who Was A Good But Not A Great Poet, Because If You Are Exposed To The Greats Too Soon It Can Just Squash You As A Writer.

There Are People Who Are Really Great Musicians. I've Met A Lot Of Them. And I'm Not A Great Musician. I'm Adequate Enough To Be Able To Throw Some Chords Together And Write Songs, But I Can Only Feel That Because I'm Expressing Something Honestly, Or In A Heartfelt Way, Or In Some Way That's Not Bullshit, That In Some Way The Songs Have Merit.

The Key Is To Get To Know People And Trust Them To Be Who They Are. Instead, We Trust People To Be Who We Want Them To Be - And When They're Not, We Cry.
