When You're All Alone, Love

Sometimes You're A Psychiatrist And Sometimes You're A Group Therapist. The Dynamics In Between People And The Misgivings Sometimes That Artists Have When They Get Into The Studio Because They're Under A Different Level Of Scrutiny. A Lot Of Them Can Be Insecure About It. My Job Is Not Simply To Make Musical Determinations But Sometimes To Just Keep People From Flipping Out During The Process.

I Must Of Woke Up This Morning With A Bug Up My Ass, I Think I'll Just Haul Off And Belt The Next Jerk That I Pass.

Music Gets Recorded Usually In One Format, And When You Have To Take It Out And Perform It There Are Other Applications And Things Like That That Are Better For The Live Performance.

It's Never The Same Relationship. I See My Job As Filling In The Blanks. Whatever It Is That The Artist Lacks In The Process Of Making A Record, I'm Supposed To Fill That In. And Sometimes It's A Lot Of Stuff And I Have To Hector Them About Working On The Material And That Sort Of Thing. Sometimes You Have An Artist That's Really Fairly Self-sufficient; They Just Need Another Ear To Offer Some Objective Criticism, But Otherwise Pretty Much Know What They're Doing. It Varies A Lot.

I Know That I Could Make This World Peaceful And Calm, If I Only Could Get My Hands On A Hydrogen Bomb.
