tree way find-me
and if there is a way to find you, I will find you. but will you find me if Neil makes me a tree
book inspiration tree
In order for my live performance to work, which is about generating a focused energy for about an hour and a half, it is necessary for me to listen and take in someone else's focused energy the day of or the day before the live show. That can transpire through a conversation, or inspiration can occur by looking through any type of visual book which sparks a narrative. That narrative then becomes today's seed and can then take root in music terms, where a sonic tree begins to grow.
acquired control everybody hairy potato taste wants
You can't control your popularity; I know I'm an acquired taste - I'm anchovies. And not everybody wants those hairy little things. If I was potato chips, I could go a lot more places, but I'm not.
asking life means needing people stories word
The word 'confession,' to me, means needing to be absolved, ... I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm not asking people to understand. I'd like to think that I tell stories and sometimes my life weaves through it.

I have my own parties. They involve being barefoot with a piece of fried chicken and margarita in each hand.

It's as if the horses have come to take us back, to descend, to find the dark side. By dark I mean what's hidden, not necessarily satanic.

It makes me think of mushroom pasta with dripping garlic bread and butter, not margarine, no margarine on this record, it's all butter.
hear silent somebody voice waiting
Years go by will I still be waiting for somebody else to understand... sometimes I hear my voice and it's been here, silent all these years...
derivative slightly
A lot of songs are derivative of each other. Sometimes you need to take a departure from what you do to something that's slightly different in order to get inspiration.
form
I'm driven by the idea of characters and the song-cycle form is similar to a musical.
faith
I don't know if the average person really has faith in Washington anymore.
roll
There are enough scary rock & roll mothers in the world.
