So we played an "unplugged" show on the radio last week... it was neat... I guess it was more like "story tellers"... we talked about the songs, and then played them. Of course, it brought back all of these unpleasant memories of why I wrote these hateful songs in the first place : )
One story that people always get a kick out of is the story behind Clue from the first album Another Day at School. I was dating... well.. living with my girlfriend of 3 years, and i was miserable. Why not write a song about it!? I wrote the song about how I knew this relationship was all wrong, and we both knew it. I wanted out.
I found Canadian money in my washing machine... I guess her new Canadian boyfriend was doing his laundry at my house while I was away playing at shows. How low! (if you look at the lyric sheet from the album, the background consists of Canadian money... he he). Finally, we broke up. I told her that I wrote the song about her, but I guess she wasn't very good at interpreting lyrics. She had no Clue! (no pun intended)
Rock!

Hey Figaro,
What I want to know is, did you have her arrested for money laundering? (ouch, that was bad, I know.) But seriously, it sounds like you have lots of blog material. Between your personal life, your music, and working at that asylum your at, you should be able to post something every day!!!
