One thing I do find in the "lost" generation or something is a kind of abhorrence of history, you know, like it's boring, dumb, or just not interesting. I think it's terribly interesting if you can get your head around how it relates to where you're standing right here and now.

Then I show up steady ready and proud and I find I've forgotten how to talk out loud. Isn't it just like you to bring me to my knees?

We've got ego's like hairdos.

My music doesn't really sound like punk music, it's acoustic. And it doesn't really sound like folk music 'cause I'm thrashing too hard and emoting a little too much for the sort of introspective, respectful, sort-of folk genre thing. I'm really into punk and folk as music that comes out of communities and is very genuine and very immediate and not commercial.

Goldfish have no memory, I guess their lives are much like mine. And the little plastic castle is a surprise everytime.

And this vague little smile is my all purpose expression the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion.

I am a thinned-skinned type. I am very sensitive, very emotional. Vulnerability is kind of always a part of my day.
