"This one started smelling funny
somewhere near the end; I seem to recall a last-minute effort
on my part to make it fit with the rest of the album by
forcing Chuck to do a few things against his will and better
judgement. I also recall Tchad Blake protesting the ‘atrocious’
sound of my 12-string guitar during mixing. I have a demo
of this kicking around somewhere that Ethan and I did in
his apartment, a demo that truly kicks the ass of this misdirected
piece of ninny. Whatever. I am committed to historical accuracy,
and this is the version that would have graced the full-length
album. 'Ringo was Richard and he said that it don’t
come easy.' Go figure." |
