stars writing rocks
Rock stars wanting to write is even worse than wanting to act in movies, right?
song memories book
I don't write down my experiences, but I have a very decent memory. I have tons of books in which I write down phrases as they occur to me. That's how I write songs. I'll need a line and I'll go through the books and find it, the right rhyme and everything.
insecure way ready
I guess I'm about ready to promote myself in a more human way. I don't feel quite so insecure.
people band littles
I need the money. People don't understand how little money you make in a band.
lying thinking guitar
I lie around and play guitar, that's something I do for sure. In fact that's all I do, I think.
night lasts last-night
I was hanging out with Jonathan Richman last night.
bugs too-much sneaky
But Sneaky Pete was great. I didn't bug him about Gram. Not too much, anyway.
behaviour ugly awful
When there are no women on the tour it can get awful and ugly - constant horrible jokes and gross behaviour. It needs to be leavened with a feminine presence.
able records quiet
I've got time, I hope, to make lots of quiet records. So quiet you won't be able to hear them.
feel-better hair used
I used to have a sort of spiky haircut and it just feels better to have short hair again.
dream school years
My high-school dream was to be in a band, pay my rent and eat - and I've been able to do that for 20 years. So I'm completely content.
fun wife
It's better when you have your wife with you, more fun.
thinking mushrooms alcohol
I don't like alcohol, but I still like to mess around with other stuff occasionally. I think it's important I take mushrooms and acid. They're certainly not addictive, so I can't rule that out.
