anecdotes
"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."
