Tony Visconti And I Had Been Wanting

You Can't Go On Stage And Live - It's False All The Way. I Can't Stand The Premise Of Going Out In Jeans And A Guitar And Looking As Real As You Can In Front Of 18,000 People. I Mean, It's Not Normal!

I Had To Be Careful About The Prayers That We Chose And The Music I Wrote Because I Didn't Want To Offend Either Side.
