We're not on a desperate mission to write chart compatible stuff.

There's no reason to stop. Who knows what's around the bend? To participate, meet new people. It's mostly other musicians and people like you, or anybody I meet who's in this, that keeps me going.

You know, it's people's lives, so as you get a little older, your own life narrative, I guess, invades a little more. It's not like we're traveling in separate buses to each show. It's a labor of love, so we just do it because we like it. Maybe someone's gonna move, or not want to go on a tour for some reason - that could happen, I guess.

Most people want to be seen or heard. You want to shine. That's my way of shining.

That's why you go to a nice studio. You can get a magic take. You don't really have to do anything to it.

What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.

I'm not sure if you can blame everything on the American way of life, but the United States are big. So, if you have a lot of people there, the percentage of stupid people is bound to be higher.
