burned passing thanks
Thanks for passing the torch...I think I burned my hand, though.
blowing detached far feeling good great hopefully involving last mind people row seem sizes time whatever whether
The sizes seem right. It's pretty much as big as you get without feeling detached or too far away from the people at the back of the audience. It's as big as you get while still involving the last row - isn't that what you look for in a venue? Hopefully they just have a great time. Hopefully it's just a great show. Whatever that does to different people, whether it's blowing your mind or just making you have a good time that night.
thank
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the deafening roar.
burst good hopefully next sounds trying
You always want to do that. But that wasn't necessarily the strategy. But I do think you're always trying to take it to the next level. We've been working on it for months. Hopefully if it sounds like a burst of good songs, that's fine. I'll take that.
communal people
I think I used to do everything and then people had a problem with that within the band, so we're doing more of a communal thing.
care people
I don't care what people think or what they expected. It's what (critics) said, not us.
accepts grateful guess half minds motivated united wants
I guess I'm of two minds about (that). One half accepts it, I'm grateful for anything I can get. And the other half, the motivated part of me wants to have the same thing going here in the United States.
second
One of the big songwriting things for me has always been: always think what you do sucks. Because the second you stop believing that, you suck. And that's a fact.
humming jar pop stuff stuffed tv
I'm always writing something. I've got so much stuff, I don't know what to do with it. Some of it will be Strokes, some of it will be I don't know what - stuff for pop singers. TV themes. I've got a jar stuffed with songs, all these ideas that are just me humming into a recording device.
guitar minutes people played prefer song telling three truly week work
I would prefer it if people thought that I didn't work hard, that I just played the guitar for three minutes a week and was like, 'Check out this song - what do you think?' That would be ideal. I would prefer telling people that I'm just truly talented.
athlete boston funny people pro random somewhere york
I find it funny how people from Boston and New York hate each other because of pro teams. But, like, everyone on the Red Sox is a random millionaire athlete from somewhere else.
cook discovered eating figured fire front humans imagine learned meat raw sitting thousand
It was 100,000 years before we figured out what to do with fire. Humans learned how to use fire to cook 100, 000 years after they discovered how to make it. Imagine cavemen, sitting in front of a fire, eating raw meat for 100 thousand years.
both earthly existence fame gets greater life minutes period share similar
The period of earthly life in your greater existence is similar to the 15 minutes of fame you get down here...Everyone gets to share you in a different way. And both are dreams.
playing
I thought we were playing a bar. But this is nice.
