Be Alone Even When There's A Million

I've Always Been A Bit Wary Of Keyboards Because There's An Invisibility To It - You're Not Really Hitting Anything.

I Really Love Watching The 70s Live Performance Tv Series "the Midnight Special" And "the Old Grey Whistle Test". Those Are The Best Performances You've Ever Seen, And They Sound Incredible.

When I Stopped Touring, It Was Like Trying To Stop A Bullet Train Or A Giant Lead Ball Falling From A 100 Stories Up - It's Momentum And It Doesn't Just Stop. I Drew A Line In The Calendar And Made It A Brick Wall And Just Stopped Dead. There Was No Other Way. It Would've Taken Another 100 Years To Slow Down Slowly. I Had To Let Myself Imagine A Calendar With No Lines; When Every Single Day Is Being Predetermined Six Months In Advance, There's No More Fluidity To Time.

I Spent Some Time In France, Visited Egypt And Mexico City. I Hung Out, Biked Around, Planted Some Tomatoes. I Did Everything Except Wake Up In A New Town Everyday. It Was Really Boring. It's Just Life.

I Just Went To Europe, Spent A Year Traveling, And Then I Came Home With A Finished Album And Said, "hey Everyone I'm Back!" I Gave Everyone Their Lighters From Luxembourg, Gave Them The Postcards From Italy And Rome, Then Said, "hey Look, I Made A Record, Too" And Played It For Them. The General Reaction Was Shock, Because It Was So Different From What They've Known Me To Do.
