1:02:04
What the fuck
are we doing with this song, man?
1:02:07
It's not such a terrible song to do.
1:02:09
Then he said, "Let's take a break".
1:02:10
And he sent everybody off. And he said
it was a lunch break or whatever.
1:02:14
People went out for an hour.
1:02:15
He was sitting alone
at the piano working over...
1:02:19
just play a few chords
and he'd scribble something down.
1:02:21
And they came back
and they did that other take...
1:02:24
after the lunch break and it was,
like the much slower, bluesier version...
1:02:27
you hear on the album,
and it's really changed the whole character...
1:02:30
and the feel of the song.
It was really, really nice.
1:02:41
Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby
1:02:45
Can't buy a thrill
1:02:51
I'd like to know about
the cover of your album.
1:02:53
I'd like to know about...
1:02:55
the meaning of the photograph of you
and the wearing of the Triumph t-shirt.
1:03:00
What did you want to know about it?
1:03:01
Well, I'd like to know if
that's an equivalent photograph...
1:03:03
it means something.
It's got a philosophy in it.
1:03:08
And I'd like to know,
visually, what it represents to you.
1:03:11
Because you're a part of that.
1:03:18
I haven't really looked at it that much.
I don't really...
1:03:21
I've thought about it a great deal.
1:03:23
It was just taken one day,
when I was sitting on the steps, you know.
1:03:27
I don't really remember.
1:03:30
I don't worry too much about it.
1:03:32
But what about the motorcycle
as an image in your songwriting?
1:03:35
You seem to like that.
1:03:37
- Oh, we all like motorcycles to some degree.
- I do.
1:03:42
Do you prefer songs with a subtle
or obvious message?
1:03:45
- With a what?
- A subtle or obvious message.
1:03:48
With a message, you mean like...
What song with a message?
1:03:51
Well like Eve of Destruction
and things like that.
1:03:57
Do I prefer that to what?
