I Can't Say I Don't Get Nervous,

My Identity Has Everything To Do With Me And My Instrument. It Doesn't Have To Do With What Production Style I Use, Or How Many People Played On It, Whether It's Sparse Or Grandiose Or Whatever. And I'm Social, Frankly.

When I Use The Internet, It's Pretty Much Strictly For Music. Checking Out Other People's Web Sites, What's Going On, Listening To Music. It's Pretty Much A Musical Thing For Me.

It Was A Source Of Shame For My Family That I Was In Rock And Roll, Which Is So Blue-collar. It Just Isn't Done. And I Felt It, Too.

Lana Del Rey Seems To Be Bothering Everybody Because She Allegedly Remade Herself From A Folk Singing, Girl-next-door Type Into An Electro-urban Kitty Cat On The Prowl (of Course I Like Her), And They Feel She Is Inauthentic.

I Mean, I Think About It, But I Don't Design My Record To Get A Certain Public Response.
