People Can Be Chaos But It's Hard

Theres A Bunch Of Elvis Costello Records That Made All The Difference Between Feeling Like A Total Freak And Feeling Like ... Only A Freak. A Freak Among Other Freaks

Everybody Gets A Tag. If You Listen To A Velvet Underground Record, You Don't Think, 'godfathers Of Punk.' You Just Think, 'this Sounds Great.' The Tags Are There In Order To Help Try To Sell Something By Giving It A Name That's Going To Stick In Somebody's Memory. But It Doesn't Describe It. So 'depressing' Isn't A Word I Would Use To Describe My Music. But There Is Some Sadness In It -- There Has To Be, So That The Happiness In It Will Matter.

But I Was Also Doing Odd Jobs Around Portland, Like Spreading Gravel And Transplanting Bamboo Trees.

I Actually Don't Think That I'm Gonna Sell A Lot Of Records.

Somewhere Where People Aren't So Mad Would Be Nice, But I Don't Know If There Is Anywhere Like That.
