But to carve the Grand Canyon, Earth required millions of years.

No offense to Grand Canyon lovers, but for my money, Meteor Crater is the most amazing natural landmark in the world.

And, my brothers, it was real satisfaction to me to waltz-left two three, right two three-and carve left cheeky and right cheeky, so that like two curtains of blood seemed to pour out at the same time, one on either side of his fat filthy oily snout in the winter starlight.

I put my energy into writing songs. I have to carve out a living somehow doing this, and licensing is one way. It's hard to register what's too much for other people. I don't watch TV, so it's tough for me to gauge. I just take it as it comes, and don't put a whole lot of thought into it.
