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.

You're all just pissing in the wind. You don't know it, but you are.

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

Down by the river, I shot my baby dead.

Sailing heart-ships through broken harbors out on the waves of the night, still the searcher must ride the dark horse racing alone in his fright.

We don't build a record. We're taking a picture of it. We're not building an image; we're capturing an image.

I'm always open to new stuff. I don't sit and try to figure out what to do, I just wait for an idea to come.
