Sometimes An Idea From Six Years Ago Will Come To Me Out Of The Blue. And Maybe I Haven't Even Seen The Lyrics I Wrote Down, But I'll Just Have This Physical Memory Of Having Written It, And In My Mind I Can See The Piece Of Paper, And The Words I Wrote Down, And Then By Muscle Memory, I'll Remember The Chords That Go Along With It.

Sometimes An Idea From Six Years Ago Will Come To Me Out Of The Blue. And Maybe I Haven't Even Seen The Lyrics I Wrote Down, But I'll Just Have This Physical Memory Of Having Written It, And In My Mind I Can See The Piece Of Paper, And The Words I Wrote Down, And Then By Muscle Memory, I'll Remember The Chords That Go Along With It.

Rock Records. It's The Main Source Of Inspiration For People - Fans, Or Musicians, Or Both - To Act Out In Ways That They Wouldn't Normally Act Out. Especially Rock Critics. Ultimately, Records Don't Really Hurt Anybody, And Neither Do Reviews.

I Like The Idea That Within The Structure Of The Song, Some Kind Of Built-in Improvisation Keeps Them Fragile And In Their Moment, So That I'm Not Projecting So Much, So That My Perception Of The Song Doesn't Interfere With What Its Real Body Is. Sometimes It's Like Telling A Story That I Heard In Passing, And I Don't Want It To Become Completely Mine.

I Can Sort Of Will That Stuff To Happen To Me If I Put Myself In The Right Headspace. Then I Can Actually Get To A Space Where It Won't Just Be One Song That Comes Through, But A Series Of Them.

I'm Never Argumentative For The Sake Of Being Argumentative, I Don't Think. And More Than Ever, I've Had To Be Willing To Fight Just To Get Records Released, Or Just To Be Able To Walk Away With A Little Bit Of Self-respect And Pride.
