It wouldn't as a lyricist, because with lyrics you have to compact everything and fold it and make it fit into a song, and here I can ramble on and on at length, which is the same kind of temptation as a guitarist who gets to play long solos. One way to grow is to try different things. The show is billed as a spoken word performance. Well I call it what you will. I'd never go to a Lecture.
Spoken word seems to be the best catch all term so people dan interpret it any way that they want.
It's basically me, naked, without a wall of noise to hide behind. It's actually not as taxing as Dead Kennedys was because Dead Kennedys was more physical. Plus, the singing would mean that my voice would go out on tour which was a real murderous thing to deal with. It depends on the situation, too. I would say I'm probably more high strung at musical gigs because I'd get really nervous before them.
