stuff fans courses
Of course, I started really being a comics fan with the underground stuff in the '70s
just-saying touring
I'm just saying that at least for the foreseeable future there won't be any more touring
song writing pieces
So writing a song is much harder than doing a classical piece for me, because in a classical piece, I can just let the mood dictate what's going to happen.
party media play
I wish the Libertarian Party would get more play in the media but they don't.
real interviews journalist
But unfortunately, I have to say, one out of every 100 interviews I do, I get a real journalist
journalist knows
You know I take music seriously, right? So I expect journalists to take being a journalist seriously.
thinking organization ideas
Al Gore wanted to tell people what they could listen to and what they couldn't, what they could record. It was basically coming down to the idea that he wouldn't let anybody record any music that he didn't think you should be doing. There was going to be an organization that would tell you what you could and couldn't record.
song thinking people
Well, I've been on stage my whole life. Also, when you're doing music videos, a lot of people don't understand. They think you just go up there, do the song, and they film the video. You do it like a jillion times before that though. Same thing in the studio.
beach thinking hollywood
Everyone thinks L.A. is the beach. And actually, Hollywood is really far from the beach.
real contracts
Until the contract is signed, nothing is real.
song writing stories
But when you get to a song, not only do you have to do a vocal melody, you have to write words and not be redundant and make some semblance of a story
thinking french-quarter hollywood
I dont think theres a back lot here in Hollywood anymore that has those streets, like a French Quarter.
song trying lines
If you're working with a producer like Rick Rubin or whatever, you sing each line probably 30 different ways. Each time they're like, "Can you try it this way, can you try it that way?" That's each line in the song, for each song.
song artist ideas
My idea of covers is that you should never cover a song and do it exactly like the artist because everyone's always going to compare it to the way the original artists did it, and they're just going to go, 'Oh I like the original better.'
