I don't believe in asking people to spend $15 on something they've never heard before. That's just unreasonable.
People don't buy records anymore. I don't know how people can support themselves.
In the '70s, everybody thought drugs were just good times. People didn't really know about drug addiction, or that such a thing existed. When I grew up in the '70s I thought you had to take drugs. It was almost like I didn't think you had a choice.
It's funny, because my last record was a lot about isolation and people living in separate worlds that other people can't even understand, which drug addiction is the perfect negative example of.
It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.
People yearn after this robotic dream, but you can't strip your life of all meaning, emotion and feeling and expect to function.
I didn't want to play these people any more songs and have them say that they weren't good enough. So my response was to just not be able to write anymore. I know that's not the healthiest of responses.
There's a song called 'Frankenstein' (from 1995's 'I'm With Stupid') that people seem to request a lot so we thought we'd give that a whirl.
