          This is so fantastic, and I gather that this and everything else we have seen will all be apart of the documentary they are filming that Dave mentioned in the intro to the You Really Got Me acoustic clip. This is the Dave I wish he would show the world more often........

            Then I would respond to that saying the DJ in question has never seen the lyrics of one Samuel Roy Hagar.....

Sometimes, not knowing what the hell he is singing about is better and leaves much to the imagination. That grey area is what kept this site going these many years, lol
                  I agree. About the last thing I want is for an artist to explain "what it all means" with regard to a piece of work. It's why I usually skip over those dumb-as-a-box-of-rocks prefaces or afterword sections many writers begin or end their novels with. They run on and on like some damned award show acceptance speech, and make about as much sense. People you've never heard of are thanked repeatedly, and you wind up discovering the reason for the book's existence was because the author had a brief discussion with a plumber who happened to have had a nasty, blood-like stain on his work pants.

                    That was awesome, nobody tells a story like Dave, all this new stuff the last few weeks is surreal....

                      Is this jerky, time lapse video photography some popular creative thing?

                      I keep thinking my computer is having a performance issue...

                      Excellent insight into Dave's interpretation of his work and lyrical imagery!!

                          Outstanding. This must be what Dave is like at the end of the night when all of the coffee and Red Bull has worn off. Cool + mellow + insightful + introspective = one cool cat.

                            I would rather see this than some incredibly overpaid Jeralda Re'vero twisting his moooostachio like Enrika Coorachio asking DLR or the other band members and then giving us his interviewer tademarked, hmmmm or yesss or the increbile,, ha ha ha, as he dreams of the idea that the camera loves me.

                            Ophra Special ..The Interviews...this week Van Halen....Why because you love her.

                            Sorry I ran out of my meds last night.

                              I am usually quite the opposite. I'll read it beforehand and usually re-read it once I finish the book. Once I've experienced it I know what it means to me but I think it's interesting to see what it means to them. But I am also the guy who sits through the closing credits of every movie. I like to see what goes into making thing I enjoy.

                                What really killed the experience for me was the overlong "chapters" Stephen King would tack onto his recent books. The damned things would be talky as hell, going on and on over details that really didn't add anything to the work at hand. This reached a nadir in the absurd From a Buick 8 story, where he blabbered for pages about not needing to explain why an event occurs, he'd simply let it happen and go forward. This failed to cover why the book didn't make any sense, or how come certain factors could not be explained by any sort of innate, logical reasoning. It was as if he was embarrassed by the novel, and felt a need to rationalize why it came out the way it did.

                                This is not the same as viewing the credits at the end of a movie or reading liner notes on an album. That is something you do for yourself, in order to add some insight or grasp a few production details. In other words, you are not being manipulated by the artist, who may have a certain prearranged agenda already in mind.
