What happened to you today that may end up analyzed in a song soon? |
| Great timing! My child Isabella Starr was born. I am sure the experience will find its way into my music, but don’t expect a record of children's songs. The whole experience may be unrecognizable once it fits itself into my subconscious poetic flow. I also had a great bowel movement which seemed like my body's attempt to mimic the childbirth experience. That's all a man can really do and that's sad because I think men have the desire to mother as well as father children. I've even had male friends that were so proud of the shit they passed they would try to call me into the bathroom to look at it! You tell me that's not their feminine side crying out. |
Will it bother you if you never become a commercial success? |
| Not as much as it will bother my friends and family. I would like for more people to have access to the music. I always like to discuss the songs with other people and get their interpretations of the lyrics. |
| I find in your music a great romanticism and a great deal of cynicism. Which has a greater pull in your life? |
| Some say that I am not always romantic but I am always cynical. I think when I am being realistic people call it cynical. How can you be more cynical than reality. Death is the big reality! It hits me sometimes, like when I am in a restaurant full of people and they are all laughing and eating, I fight the urge to stand up and scream HEY! We're all dying here! Don’t you get it! This is a fucking plane crash and all you can do is distract yourselves with simple animal reflexes, eating and babbling, eating and babbling! Sometimes I have lost the battle with that urge and then it’s doggy bag time. |
