I Like Music That's More Offensive. I

I Spent Most Of The Eighties, Most Of My Life, Riding Around In Somebody Else's Car, In Possession Of, Or Ingested Of, Something Illegal, On My Way From Something Illegal To Something Illegal With Many Illegal Things Happening All Around Me

I Always Went In With A Very Specific Idea Of The Sound I Wanted, And Once I'd Recorded I'd Try And Make It Sell As Much As I Could, But I Only Went In Thinking Of A Sound I Wanted. So, It's No Surprise To Me That He Got The Hit And I Didn't. But What I Realized Was That He Did Dress It Up Nicely, And My God, He Does Sing On Key Well.

I Never Had A Checkbook. It Used To Be Cash In Hand, Stuff In The Pocket, Or A Manager Would Keep Some Accounts And Give Me Money. I Started To Wonder What It Must Feel Like To Actually Make A Profit, Pay Taxes, And To Have A Phone Listing, And A Manager. And Also, I Was Sick Of Sleeping Around Every Night.

I Thought That If I Practiced Doing Melodies For A Year Or So At Home, I Would Learn To Think Melodically, And When I Went To Work It Would Come Out, And It Did, On This Album. What Else Was Important To Me...? I Spend A Lot Of Time In The Grocery Store, Shopping.

Basically, I’m A Musical Vocalist, But I Do Voiceover Stuff As A Sideline, Like Plumbing Or Something.
