I Think Having A Dog Makes You

Nobody Is Ever Just A Straight Up Protagonist Or Antagonist - Everybody's Morally Ambiguous.

I Think Having A Dog Makes You More Compassionate.

A Few Years Ago, When I Was Writing Songs For My First Album, I Was Staying With Michael Feinstein As I Often Did. I Was Working On A Pilot. My Grandma Was Very Sick At The Time. She Died Of Complications From Alcoholism. She Always Used To Say [in His Grandma's Voice], "red Wine Is Good For My Heart. That's What My Doctor Said." And We'd Say, "yeah, But Not For Breakfast." Unfortunately, It Was The Thing That Killed Her. I Felt Inspired To Write A Song About Her And What That Meant For Her Life And For All Of Us. I Was Writing It In Michael's House.

I Really Like The Melody "red Wine Is Good For My Heart" And People Respond To It. I Decided To Put It On The Album.

I Have Insomnia, And It's Hard For Me To Sit Still For A Long Time. My Mind Is Always "tick, Tick, Tick."
