This
is just your typical doomsday ditty, the old “prophet crying in
the wilderness” bit. It sure was fun to write, sing and record,
though... |

Nostalgia,
both in the music and the lyrics. The rebellious spirit in an age when
rebellion is no longer fashionable; the lone soldier on the abandoned
battlefield. It sure felt better when there were a lot of us... |

Pure
fun. Of course, I have actually been in such situations, and didn’t
find them to be laughing matters, at the time... |

| Loneliness,
isolation and alienation in the context of the booming metropolis. I
kept the lyrics short and sweet, because I wanted a really long guitar
solo... |

| Nostalgia
strikes again. I wrote this one in Europe, when I’d been there
for years and missed the songs and spirit of some of the clubs I’d
played in, back in the States... |

| Another
one for the sheer fun of it. No great moral, here. But there have been
a few times in my life when I was really glad I didn’t give a
damn... |

| A
plea against apathy, and hopefully a word of encouragement to those
who are not apathetic... I’m one of those die-hards who still
believes that, together, we can make a difference... |

| I
was mad at the government, and mad at the way some big city cops behave.
If the line about cops offends you, allow me to point out that it isn’t
directed at all policemen: just the damned ones... |

Man’s
quest for spirituality. People of differing religions have expressed
appreciation for the song. I’m glad. |

word of advice to young dreamers, especially those who seek fame and
fortune as artists, writers and musicians... |

| Actually,
I wrote this song about marriages from which love had departed. However,
each is free to interpret it as he or she pleases, and make of it whatever
does the trick... |

between January 1996 and December 1997 |
