I just go with the flow. This new album I'm working on, the songs are much more, not unstructured, but the music doesn't come strictly in song form. It's the title of a song on the album. I've always been fond of the 'F' word, 'feminist,' 'folksinger,' all the taboo categories people are trying to get away from. Both are very important to me.
People get in their cars and drive for hours to see something happen.
It used to be difficult, I suppose, in that we used to really be struggling for 10 years or whatever. I always liked my job. I like playing music, even if it's just for a handful of people. And it was difficult along the way to watch other people who started out after me and ended up on the cover of magazines six months later, and I'm still pounding around in these little bars having my indie rock life. In terms of touring, things have really gotten to a good place.
