I'd Like To Continue To Play Until

One Long Year Was Just A Song Here And There, And It Was Meant To Reflect The Mood That I Was In But Unfortunately It Also Reflected Too Little Of Any Particular Thing Rather Than Hanging Together As A Whole Album.

If You're Not Satisfied With The Way The World Is, Or If You Think The World Can Be Better, You Have To Figure Out A Way To Know Yourself And Better Yourself. Then You Have The Assurance That Something In The World Has Improved.

Artists Should Re-emphasize Performance And De-emphasize Recording. You Always Make More Money If You Have A Healthy Performing Life Than You Will If You Have Even A Moderately Healthy Recording Life. Don't Make Recording The Most Important Thing You Do. Make Performing The Most Important Thing You Do, And Then You Can Make Recordings And Sell Them At Your Shows, Because Record Labels Aren't Going To Be Around To Help You Get On The Radio Stations, And The Radio Stations Probably Aren't Going To Play You Anyway.

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.

They May Be Stupid, But They Sure Are Fun.
