I Grew Up I Guess You'd Say

I Think Everybody Should Just Turn Off Their Tv Machines And Make Up Their Own Songs About Whatever Comes To Mind-their Couch, Their Friends Their Loaves Of Bread. Everybody's Got Their Own Songs. There Should Be So Many Songs Out There That It All Turns Into One Big Sound And We Can Put The Whole Thing Into A Pickup Truck And Let It Roll Off The Edge Of The Grand Canyon.

I've Done So Many Albums Where I've Been In The Studio For 14 Hours A Day For Six Months Just Trying To Come Up With Things On My Own. It's A Nice Change Helping Other People With Their Music And Not Being All About What I'm Trying To Do Myself.

The Years Keep Going By And You Realize, Wow. Doing These Records Is Such A Process: Going On Tour For A Year And A Half, Then You Get Home And You Want To Do Other Things.

For The Records I've Work On Over The Last 10 Years, I Get Sent The Really Compressed Version And The Non-compressed Version, And Oftentimes You End Up Going With The More Compressed One Because It's What People's Ears Are Attuned To. I Think The Bigger Problem Is Saturation And People Being Desensitized.

I've Been Arguing With People For 10 Years About Tape Versus Digital, And I Believe Tape Is Absolutely Essential In Getting The Sound That's Conducive To The Enjoyment Of Music.
