We recorded the record on a Saturday afternoon March 30th and I heard the record for the first time on April 6th. I was driving to school, literally seven days later.
Times were very different then, so, you know, I just tried to live as normally as humanly possible. But as truthfully as humanly possible.
There's no point in alienating your fan base. What I think you want to do is bring them along and then pick up a few more people along the way.
I just never found it was necessary because I really never kept my life private. Those who knew me, those who worked with me were well aware.
You know, that doesn't happen anymore, so when it started getting played, we weren't prepared for it. We didn't even know it had been released.
