Between each album I try to gain a new insight that I didn't have before and perhaps write a song about something that I've written about before, but from a fresh viewpoint.

It was pretty frightening because as we all know, when large, famous groups breakup, a lot of the members don't survive in solo careers.

Cause a man with a briefcase can steal more money than any man with a gun.

We all know that crap is king, give us dirty laundry.

I'm blessed with a pretty good voice. So just sitting back there banging on the tubs wasn't enough.
