I've Been Practicing For Years,

I Don't Remember Half Of The New Bands, Though - And I Think That's Kind Of Where We're Going. It's Turning Into Just A Big Derby Of Songs. May The Best Song Win.

Sometimes, I Think The Way The Music Business Has Been Destructive And The Way The Fans Are Been Put Through It And Try To Navigate Through It, So Much Is So Foreign To What Musicians Would Actually Want To Do Or What Would Be Natural To Them.

I Think I Gave Indications Early On That Mine Wasn't Just Going To Be A Commercial, Er, Career. If That Were The Case, Then The First Record Would Have Been 10 Versions Of 'loser.' I Always Thought It Would Be Interesting If There Was No Such Thing As Gold And Platinum Records, Or Record Deals, And People Were Just Making Music. What Would The Music Sound Like?

Somebody Else Is Satisfied By Five Bentleys. I'm Satisfied By A Beautiful String Arrangement.

You Can't Please Everybody, Man.
