It's O.k. To Accept Good

I'd Like My Records To Reach As Many People As Possible, But I'm Also Thinking In Terms Of How I Can Keep From Getting Jaded Or Unhappy With The Process.

Writing Songs Is A Profession; So It's Not An Attempt To Take Things From My Interactions With Other People And For Some Reason Give Them To A Total Stranger To Listen To. I Find It Offensive To Hear Other People Do That.

My Booking Agent, Of Course, Here And Overseas, Their Tendency Is To Want To Build On A Certain Kind Of Measurable Success, And I Was Thinking Yesterday, What I'd Like To Do Is Maybe Start To Compile A List Of The Best 200 To 500 Capacity Rooms Around The World And Just Start Going To Them Again And Again And Again.

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.

I Have More Respect For Somebody Who Points At His Ideal - In This Case, The Ideal Of The Pirate - And Then Becomes Something That's More Radical, More Exciting, More Subversive Than A Pirate Could Ever Be.
