If I Wasn't A Musician

If You Look At A Lot Of The Songs I've Been Involved In, There's Always Been This Retro Vibe. I Started Getting Worried That I Wasn't Moving Forward Very Much, Nor Was I Even In Tune With The Music Today. I Almost Scoffed At It.

Van Morrison Is Probably, At This Point In Time, My Biggest Influence As A Vocalist. When We Were Making Our Last Album I Had A Vinyl Copy Of 'veedon Fleece' In The Vocal Booth In Front Of Me, In The Dorky Sense. I Think There Were Candles Around, Which Is Really Tacky, But Hey, I Needed To Channel Van The Man!

But As Long As You're Creating The Art You Want To Create, If People Start Liking You, You Shouldn't Have To Apologize. You Want Your Stuff To Be Heard By As Many People As Possible.

My Dad Dragged Me To A Bruce Springsteen Concert As A Kid. It Was My First Concert, But I Fell Asleep In The Middle. My Second Concert Was Weezer On The Pinkerton Tour, And Pinkerton Is The Reason Why Im Doing This.

Lyrics Are So Important, I Hate Every Second Of Writing Them, But It's Something I Take Great Pride In When It's Finished.
