We're Not Uncomfortable With It, And We've Already Been Through Enough Of The Music Business Where I'm Not Really Worried That Commercial Success Is Going To In Some Way - We're Already Past Saving, You Know What I Mean? It's Too Late For Us.

I Recognize That As A Musician There Is A Certain Chauvinism Attached To It, Which Is The Thing Of, "i Spent My Time Learning How To Play. You Didn't Spend Time Learning How To Play, Therefore, You Are Not A Musician."

The Reality Which Is Pretending Be Reality Right Now, Impersonating Reality, Is Just A Pretty Flimsy Structure. There Is Not A Lot Of Substance To It. You Can't Find People Who Are Actively Involved Of Affected By It. What You See Is A Completely Different World, What You See Is The World Of The Homeless, And So Forth.
