I Think That Hip-hop Is More Of

I Think There's A Weird Self-affirmation Thing That Happens In Popular Music In General. It Seems Like Every Song I Hear On The Radio Is Like, "listen To Me Roar!" Or "this Is My Fight Song!"

There's A Very Fine Line Between One Person's Reality And Another Person's Fantasy.

Rock And Roll Seems To Have Had A Mellowing In The Business Where It Got Harder To Sell Individual Records And Make Money Doing That.

For A Song I Was Bought Now I Lie When I Talk With A Careful Eye On The Cue Card. Onto A Stage I Was Pushed, With My Sorrow Well Rehearsed. So Give Me All Your Pity And Your Money, Now (all Of It).

Every Time I Finish A Song... Most Of The Time It's In My Own Head, Like This Sounds Too Much Like A Townes Van Zandt Song, Or Whoever. I Realize There Are So Many Melodies And Chord Progressions In Pop And Rock Music That Are So Similar That You Can Kind Of Trace It Back To Other Things. Most Of The Time It's Just In Your Head.
