I Don't Remember Half Of The New

My Whole Generation's Mission Is To Kill The Cliche...it's One Of The Reasons A Lot Of My Generation Are Always On The Fence About Things. They're Afraid To Commit To Anything For Fear Of Seeming Like A Cliche. They're Afraid To Commit To Their Lives Because They See So Much Of The World As A Cliche.

I Did That Grammys Thing - I Did A Little Freeform Poem.

I Think Everybody Should Just Turn Off Their Tv Machines And Make Up Their Own Songs About Whatever Comes To Mind-their Couch, Their Friends Their Loaves Of Bread. Everybody's Got Their Own Songs. There Should Be So Many Songs Out There That It All Turns Into One Big Sound And We Can Put The Whole Thing Into A Pickup Truck And Let It Roll Off The Edge Of The Grand Canyon.

Technology Was Something I Avoided When I Started Out - I Didn't Even Have Electric Guitars. Only Played Acoustic.

I'm Always Looking For Older Equipment And Ways Of Recording, But You Can't Escape The Fact That It's All Going To Be Digitized And Reduced. I Do Think Music Sounds Better When It's On Tape And More Simply Recorded. I've Been Arguing With People For 10 Years About Tape Versus Digital, And I Believe Tape Is Absolutely Essential In Getting The Sound That's Conducive To The Enjoyment Of Music. I Wonder If It's Going To Go Back To That. Sometimes I Think It Has To. As Music Becomes More Computer-based, It's Lost Some Emotional Impact.
