People Don't Realize How Much

I Feel Like You're Not A Real Musician Or Entertainer If You Can't Go Into A Room, Pick Up An Instrument And Entertain People.

What Do You Think Jesus Would Twitter, 'let He Who Is Without Sin Cast The First Stone' Or 'has Anyone Seen Judas? He Was Here A Minute Ago.'

When That Much Time Goes By, You're Really Listening To Your Old Music Differently. At The Time It's Written, It Was The Beginning Of Our Career And With Every Song We're Thinking, 'this Is What's Creating Us.' Now, Nothing Is Creating Us. We're Well-created. We're There. It Becomes Just Pure Pleasure And You Become Sort Of An Archeologist Of Your Own Music. You Don't Judge It, Because What's The Point? It's A 30-year-old Song. It Just Becomes Fun.

It Isn't Necessary To Be An Untouchable Rock-icon Guy Surrounded By Bodyguards And Be Ushered In And Out And Have Everyone Do Everything For You. It Isn't Necessary To Change The Way You Present Your Band To The Public Just Because You're Successful. That Happened A Lot In The '80s: There Was A School Of Thought That Said People Would Like You More If You Acted Like You Were The Unattainable Star.

What Makes That Song, I Think, Is How Stark It Is.
