I'm Pampered Like You Wouldn't Believe.

Rock Music Is Quite Big In India - But It Mostly Just Replaces All The Intricacies Of Indian Rhythms And Indian Melody With Lumpen Rock Drumming And Power Chords.

I Was Just Very Conscious That I Could Either Bore People By Having The Music Be Similar For Too Long, Or I Could Just Wear Them Out And Bore Them In A Different Way By Having It Changing Too Much Every Minute Or Two Minutes. So, There Was That Kind Of Balance To Get Right.

I'm Happy To Write 10 Times Too Much Music.

I Don't Mind When People Are Telling Me About Their 1971 Firebird, But It's The Same Thing As People Telling Me About Their Car Or Something. It's Fine If You Have An Interest. By Talking With Me, Though, You Could Be Interviewing A Novelist About Guitars. It's The Same Thing, Except I Don't Write That Well Either.

Obviously There Will Be A Backlash. If You Believe The Hype You Have To Believe A Backlash Too. Any Criticism We Get, Is Always Stuff We've Already Criticized Ourselves.
