I really didn't study any music. I just picked it up real quick.
I know so many songs. I'm like a walking karaoke torture machine.
For me, it's all about The Dubliners by James Joyce. I love The Dead.
I'll always be making music. I'd like to do it my whole life - although I also love words and want to write short stories. But right now, my songs are kind of my short stories.
I need the money. People don't understand how little money you make in a band.
I don't write down my experiences, but I have a very decent memory. I have tons of books in which I write down phrases as they occur to me. That's how I write songs. I'll need a line and I'll go through the books and find it, the right rhyme and everything.
