For me, it's all about The Dubliners by James Joyce. I love The Dead.

I have to make rock records occasionally.

I guess I'm about ready to promote myself in a more human way. I don't feel quite so insecure.

Basically, between 1989 and 1994, I hadn't taken a vacation.

Some of our stuff ends up looking too corporate. I'm going to be a lot stricter from now on.

I know so many songs. I'm like a walking karaoke torture machine.

CDs, too. Totally corporate. They look real cheap and soulless and they don't smell of anything.
