Musically, I Didn't Relate To Berlin. There

I Find It Pretty Fascinating How Humans Keep Gravitating Towards These Giant Centers. I Went To This Walled Medieval Village In France This Year, And It Was Truly The Most Crazy, Beautiful, Bizarre Place I've Ever Been.

I Think That's More A Reflection Of The Fact I've Never Been A Student Of Any Particular School Of Writing, Or Even Listening.

So, I'm On Sesame Street, Walking Around With All These Monsters, Elmo And His Buddies, A Whole Bunch Of Chickens, A Whole Bunch Of Penguins And A Number Four Dancing About. It Was Just Pure Joy, Simple, Ridiculous Fun, Stupid Joy. There's No Irony. Sesame Street Is Just A Crazy Great Place To Be.

I Didn't Really Get London Until I Read Dickens. Then I Was Charmed To Death By It.

I Had A Guitar Leaning Against The Wall And I'd Squint At It. It Was Almost Like A Dog That Had Been Kicked - I Didn't Think I Had Anything To Offer It.
