About two weeks before I left (to promote the new album), God just hit the creative gas pedal on me and I wrote like 14 new songs, ... So I have an album sitting in my pocket. |
After you come see this band live, you're going to be converted. |
God, it feels as if we're as big as we've ever been. |
Guy can't get a job at the refinery, or guy hates his job at the factory, or guy lost his job at the refinery or the factory. Then he gets in his car and drives around. It's all so tongue-in-cheek, ya know? Most of New Jersey doesn't even have refineries. What is a refinery, anyway? |

We were raising money because when these kids go away and then come home in a body bag, their family gets $12,000 and they get kicked off the base a month later. |
Obviously, you're going to miss the school play. My daughter scored her first goal in soccer, which you know, if you miss that, it pulls at your heart strings. The upside is we have an extraordinary life. |
She's cool with it. You know, it was her suggestion that I launch this campaign. We've been following the California recall situation and witnessing first-hand the connection that Arnold has made with the people. And why wouldn't he? He's like this handsome loveable guy with rich friends. It's such a political lock these days. |
