We Stayed In Some Pretty Shabby Places

Take A Look At Me Now, Cause There's Just An Empty Space. And You Coming Back To Me Is Against All Odds And That's What I've Got To Face.

You Know, I've Released Some Great Records And I've Released Some Dogs. But Frankly, The Fun Is In Creating The Thing.

I Don't Want To Preach, But I Really Think The Rudiments Are Very Important To Developing Your Drumming Skills. Many Of The Patterns I've Recorded Came From Things Like Paradiddles, Flam Paradiddles, Flam Triplets... They Might Be Boring To Sit Down And Practice, But Not When You Apply Them To The Drums.

Everything Has Added Up To A Load That I'm Getting Tired Of Carrying. It's Gotten So Complicated. It's The Three Failed Marriages, And Having Kids That Grew Up Without Me, And It's The Personal Criticism, Of Being Mr. Nice Guy, Or Of Divorcing My Wife By Fax, All That Stuff, The Journalism, Some Of Which I Find Insulting.

There's No Magic For Getting Into The Groove... Just Banging Away At It. Sometimes The Lyrics Come First, Sometimes The Music.
