H: Your emotional range is big enough to allow for complexity.

B: And my audience is literate enough to be dealing with those kinds of things. If people are drawn to my music they've got to be reading the lyrics, 'cause there ain't much else... (laughs) One of the great things about punk was the idea of content over style. Maybe that's what we should have called the box set. But I like to think that people who come to listen to me are in that old tradition where people came and listened to people sing and speak because they were interested in what you had to say as well as what you think. You've sung that song, you made a statement in that song, what other ideas have you got to back that up, boy? I also feel that when I hear a song, like, let's talk about it, talk to me about that. A gig should be a little bit more than playing songs.
