I Appreciate The Past, But I Want

I Think That People Are Constantly Thinking About Capturing Things That They're Not Actually Present For The Moment They're Trying To Capture. I'm Quite Sure Of This. I Think It's Insane How Many Pictures Have To Be Taken These Days.

I Put My Name On That Occupy Musicians List Because Someone Wrote To Me And Said, "would You Do This?" I Said, "yeah Sure, I Support This." What Artist Wouldn't Support That? What's The Big Deal? But Then People Wrote To Me, "wow! You're On That List!" And I'm Like, "who Isn't On That List?" That Would Be More Shocking.
