I'm A Big Music Fan

I Think That Music, Or At Least The Kind Of Music That I Make, Benefits Greatly From Improvisation.

I Got On The Phone With The President Of My Label And I Said, "obviously, I Write Songs In A Lot Of Styles And Play A Lot Of Different Kinds Of Music. We're Getting Toward The End Of Our Business Collaboration. If You Could Envision A Record That You Wanted To Hear From Me, What Kind Of Record Would It Be?" It Wasn't Like Asking Him To Fill An Order, It Was Really Just A Conversation. For All The Things I'd Ever Asked Him, This Was One Thing I'd Never Asked, And I Don't Know Why. So I Was Curious. And The Thing That He Was Most Interested In Hearing Was A Solo Record.

I Think That We Live In A Time Where It's Easier To Be Suspicious Of Dedicated Men And Women, People Dedicated To Their Craft, Because The World Around Them Inspires Them To Be Lazy. It Inspires Them To Be Negative. It Inspires Them To Be Snarky.

Can You Still Have Any Famous Last Words If You're Somebody Nobody Knows?

I Went Down To Houston And I Stopped In San 'antone, I Passed Up The Station For The Bus. I Was Trying To Find Me Something, But I Wasn't Sure Just What... Man, I Ended Up With Pockets Full Of Dust.
