Wooden ships are a hippie dream, capsized in excess if you know what I mean.

I would play all the parts of the song, show them the way it went together. Then I'd basically break down an arrangement - I wouldn't plan endings or beginnings - so they knew everything that was going on. I had the lyrics on a prompter so that I could remember everything I'd written, and I was able to just get into the groove and play with them. I think "Peace Trail" is one of the exceptions, where it's a later take. It just happened really quickly.

It's all very hazy to me now. I'm glad I made it through that stage. It got a little dicey. There were some drugs going on. I remember singing one song for about a day and a half.

I like to go in right away as soon as I have things.

Out of the blue and into the black

I was just 20 years old when I wrote Broken Arrow.

Love is a healer and I love you.
