song writing doe
Not too many songwriters, when they write songs go for broke. When someone does who's really good, it's astonishing. There's a reason a three-minute song can devastate you, or make you get up and dance, stop what you're doing and go, 'What is that?' It just hits you. And it's a very potent thing you're playing around with.
people doe shapes
Don't the people you're around shape the music, is that what you're saying? Everything does.

I'm in this business for too long to be halfhearted about anything.
You can't beat two guitars, bass, and drums.

I read that script. It's one of the most disgusting, foul things I've seen -- by any illiterate retard -- in a long time. There's no limit to how low some people will go to write something to make money.

His amazing band contributes to one extraordinary experience of musical wit, depth and, most of all, beauteous heart.

We once did an album with a pop painter, ... because we wanted to help him out.
