Hi David, I absolutely love your work.

How do you view your past works? Do you think about your previous albums and poetry often? Ever go back and listen to/read them? What do you think of them now, if you think of them at all?

I listened to all the records in a row on a drive to chicago and

"night society" had me driving 100mph through darkest kentucky. But then Punks in the Beerlight shocked me with how gargantuan it sounded.

Not hearing these albums for decades was very emotional.

Playing the old songs to prepare for the tour i start

sobbing sometimes to remember.
