I think a lot of people secretly wish they were a rock star, and I'm no exception.

I mean, most of it is probably more obscure and just more noisy than either of those two bands, but Thurston has stuff all the time that he's involved with that is fairly obscure and experimental.

A close girlfriend of mine and I have been writing and playing together for years and decided to make it official, so we formed a band called 'Everly.'

I do think that some bands seem to be dabbling in the rock-hip-hop world and are not necessarily serious about it.

When the band begins to get a name for themselves, and the writers get assigned to bands, they'll hit somebody who just doesn't like that kind of music, or they love hip hop but hate guitar rock.

Hit songs are mysterious and slippery beasts; few artists have a lock on them. This means that many people, like me, have become fans of songs rather than fans of artists.

People forget how outcast 'They Might Be Giants' can be. They have a reputation for writing really deft, funny, clever melodies, and they also make a lot of music for kids, which is terrific, but when you see them in concert, they can rock the house.

I quite like androgyny.

Skynyrd's not just a band; I think it's a lifestyle. It's iconic.
