I have to try and change the landscape, whatever it is.

Yeah, I think the point has well and truly sunk in by now, and I can just carry on. I don't even know what I'm looking for except a bit of hilarity and mild insanity musically, and I can get none of that by just delving into the history.

You have to ask these questions: who pays the piper, and what is valuable in this life?

I don't think I've aged gracefully.

I can find my way from 500 A.D. through to 1066 pretty well as an amateur historian.

The events between 1968 and 1980 were the kind of cornerstone for everything I've been able to do, they gave me the springboard.

I'm not trying to be cosmic, it's just that everything's on a roll and that's how it is. The songs within the album discuss that very condition.
