I feel like I could be likened to an old hound circling on a rug for the last five years.
It's a robust time, probably the most fertile time for the underground and for revolution since Nixon. I'm not talking about political overthrow; I'm talking about just general cultural revolution. Bush has polarised the country and is creating this breeding ground for an opposition. In the next couple of months, they'll probably make it unpatriotic to be Democrat. It's pretty crazy.
Now I'm livin' out here on the beach, but those seagulls are still out of reach.
Though my problems are meaningless, that don't make them go away.
In my life I have had various health threats: polio, seizures, a brain aneurysm. None of these things has really changed me much, although it is hard to say for sure. These are events that are part of my life. They make me who I am. I am thankful for them. They are scary.
One new feature or fresh take can change everything.
Starts out slow and then fizzles out altogether.
Being sued by your own record company, that's even better than receiving a Grammy
Don't think. The worst songs I've ever written happen when I think.
You gotta keep changing. Shirts, old ladies, whatever.
Ain't singing for Pepsi, ain't singing for Coke, I don't sing for nobody, makes me look like a joke.
Down by the river, I shot my baby dead.
You're all just pissing in the wind. You don't know it, but you are.
Wooden ships are a hippie dream, capsized in excess if you know what I mean.
