Opinions only carry weight in the second or third person.

Image
People take things a little too personal. I write these songs, and they're experiments with thoughts. That's it. I'm not a teacher.

Image
Elvis Presley wore a Star of David and a cross around his neck and, when someone asked him about it, he said, It makes me think. I love that quote. It's simple. It's beautiful. It's true.

As long as there are a few people there, I can lose myself, which is the ultimate goal. And that's happening more and more the non-musical world is becoming less and less interesting to me.

Image
I don't think I'm even a musician. I don't play a lot of instruments, not really a soloist or anything.
Cass McCombs
Image
This is rock'n'roll, not classical music. It's about people working together.

I do like the word timeless. That's a great word.

I wouldn't claim to know what another person is thinking. I can imagine it, but it's my interpretation, and I try to make that clear. It's my vision of what I think their life is. I don't think there are empirical truths in that regard.
