“SpaceWolf (here he is just chris- he has changed forms) and HOTLICK the guitar, and RUSH-WRONG the bass- they’re our tour shit guitars and ALL the good songs get written in the back room. no matter what. it’s weird.
like every song people have liked since cardinals- happens back there- me and B or SW or even me and neal kickin it in the front- jon will come round and see what the fuss is but he does this like, alchemy home-work.
he pretends to not listen to the demo’s but then, like out of nowhere- we go to play or record- and BAM- chris or jon or neal know the song- TOTALLY’
which is so funny because me and Brad forget and we are one’s banging on potato chip bags and riffin in the back trying to write this stuff.
brad always knows when it’s poetry or it’s words for a tune and man, if i am just riffin and something cool happens, he will give me “the eye” AS IN- get that riff down man.
it’s great. plus he is getting mad good at I MOVIE- fuck. his new feature film is gonna take me out of the game.
he does that though.
you teach Brad chess and like after his third game, forget it, you’re toast.
love that bastard
