I certainly don't sit around in the morning making pancakes listening to Whitehouse or anything.

Hits are for squares.

I grew up in the early '70s in New England.

It's hard for bands to stick it out because people grow up, and it never really pays off. If you're looking for some sort of payoff, it's not gonna happen

I was surrounded by nature and trying to come to terms with this blissful nature versus the inhumane mentality of war. People were being deluded by someone using the word peace

A lot of the lyrical ideas do have a lot of meaning in a way, although it is somewhat abstracted.

Most people can't tell now who wrote what. I like that blurring of identities within the band. because it becomes a unified thing that can't be related to other forms of historical poetry
