I Still Write More Songs About Girls

By The Time I Wrote Those First Three Songs For His New Cd ... I Wanted To Push The Poetics As Hard As I Could Push Them, And Not Decide The Songs Were Finished Until I Committed Them To Whatever The Recording Format Was. I Went Through Drafts Right Up Until I Recorded Every Single One Of Them.

Part Of It Is, I Think, Just To Let People Know You've Got A Record Out There And That You're Still Alive Requires More Work Than It Used To, Because The Traditional Radio, Bug Chains Of Record Stores, All Of That, That Doesn't Exist Anymore.

I Wish I Was As Sure About Things As Bill Monroe Was Sure About Things.

I'm Constantly Warning People That Are Involved In My Life That I Can Go Busk And Make A Living. I Can Make My Rent In New York City In The Subway, I Promise, If I'm Forced To.

Poetry Is The Hardest Thing That There Is. It Fascinates Me, So I Want To Write More Of It.
