well, for me, being as i have a regular joe job. i think people should
work. i mean make a commitment to their work. surely if you do work and
you are connected, you can make a new album in 2 years. but jane HAS been
working. i was happy to get the city cd. b/c that has been her work over
the last few years. i loved the "a day in the life" b/c it showed a
snippit into her life, she is working. not just couching it with chips.
i'm happy to know that, why this is important, i don't know. but working
is good. producing is good, being productive is good. i want to know that
the people i admire are being productive contributing forces in the
universe. we need those good creative people putting their stuff out
there for us regular joe job folks.
