कल मैंने 'बर्न द नाइटक्लब डाउन' नाम से एक गाना लगभग पूरा लिख लिया। यह गाना क्लीवलैंड शहर में ड्राइव करते हुए महसूस होने वाली उस घबराहट के बारे में था, जो मुझे उस नाइटक्लब में परफॉर्म करने के ख्याल से हो रही थी। असल में, घटना यह थी कि उससे ठीक एक रात पहले मैंने अपनी गर्लफ्रेंड को फोन किया था, और उस दिन उसका जन्मदिन था। एक तरफ उसका जन्मदिन था और दूसरी तरफ मैं मिशिगन के एन आर्बर के किसी घटिया से इलाके में सफर कर रहा था।

Yesterday I wrote the majority of a song called 'Burn the Nightclub Down' which was about kind of driving into Cleveland full of dread at the prospect of playing at this night club and actually just the night before I had called my girlfriend whose birthday it was. And it's her birthday and here I am on the road in some hellhole in Ann Arbor in Michigan.

मैंने 'द इंस्टिगेटर' एल्बम तब बनाया था जब 9/11 के हादसों के बाद मैं बेघर हो गया था, और उस एलबम में कुछ ऐसी बातें और गाने शामिल हैं जो उस दौर के दर्द और मेरे सीधे अनुभवों को बयां करते हैं।

I made The Instigator while I was homeless as a result of 9/11, and there was some stuff on there that was really raw and directly out of that experience

मुझे रॉक संगीत से बहुत प्यार है, लेकिन यह बात मुझे एक आज़ादी का अहसास कराती है कि मुझे हमेशा 'ओल्ड 97's' बैंड की उस तेज रफ्तार ट्रेन के साथ चलने की मजबूरी नहीं झेलनी पड़ती।

I love to rock, but it's liberating not to always have to keep up with the freight train that is the Old 97's

चूंकि '97's' बैंड पूरी तरह से लोकतांत्रिक तरीके से चलता है, इसलिए यह लाजिमी है कि मेरे लिखे अनगिनत गानों में से कुछ को खारिज कर दिया जाए। जब पहली बार ऐसा हुआ (और उसके बाद जब-जब ऐसा हुआ), तो मैंने खुद को यह कहकर तसल्ली दी कि कभी न कभी तो मैं अपना एक सोलो एल्बम जरूर बनाऊंगा।

Seeing that the 97's are a democracy through and through, inevitably, some of these tons of songs I write will get vetoed. The first time that happened (and every time thereafter), I consoled myself with the thought that sooner or later I'd make a solo record
