Well, thank you. It's come both ways, but for me, I would like to say just a slim majority of it comes from a title first, because for me that dictates the feel of the music. And then, you know, I write the lyric. It's like something that you... You know, Wanted Dead or Alive is, you know, that kind of a feeling of an open D chord. It just calls for that.

So it covered everything from gun control to George Floyd to COVID to an introspective topical record released into a black hole of COVID that I couldn't promote, I couldn't tour. And it's good that I was able to do that. I was very proud of it. This record, post-surgery, and the process, because there's no happy ending yet, is that I'm finding joy for the first time in a decade.

I'm truly finding joy. I haven't had joy in a decade. And that sucked because of the voice. I was honored just recently at this Music Cares event two weeks ago, three weeks ago out in L.A. The Grammys pick one person to celebrate their catalog, and in my case, the philanthropy.

Yeah, and... And I was this year's honoree. And on the Saturday morning after the night, I woke up and I was like, something's weird. And I went, I know what it is. It's the first time in 10 years the only voice in my head was mine. No doubt, no fear, no second thoughts. You know, it's just, I had fun last night.
