That song is actually a true story. I mean, I did read a review that was characterizing me like that. I don’t get an ego boost out of reading something like that. Normally, if you pay too much attention to everyone’s opinion, you’re going to just get confused.

But when I wrote that song, I was living under the illusion that there might still be time to get a broader number of people to understand what it is that I’m trying to do with my solo work.
ha! that goes back to my interpretation of Cast Away Dreams, that it was about his dreams of the popularity of his solo work.
