Well, I Try Not To

I Rode On A Float In One Of The Parades In Mississippi. It's An Experience.

I've Been Doing Four-track Songs By Myself Since I Was Like A Teenager, Where I'd Sing In A Way That I ... I Just Didn't Think Other People Would Like It, So I Didn't Play It For Them But Eventually I Got Over That, Which I'm Happy That I Did, Because It's Kind Of A Drag To Be Playing A Kind Of Music That You Don't Really Like As Much As Another Kind.

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

I Don't Really Think Of Time Off As Writing Blocks. I Think That's A Western Notion Of Demonizing Inactivity. When Your Imagination Decides It Needs To Take A Nap. Maybe That's What It Needs To Do.

People Can Be Chaos But It's Hard To Fit It Into Some Creative Piece That You Made. It's Hard.
