It's all about the songs. That's what kept the group together for over 14 years. Otherwise, we might have killed each other years ago. John, who produces new song ideas more often than most people change underwear, is a martinet about rhythm structure. Sharon, she of the butterscotch voice, obsesses about getting the lyrics just right. Folly, the elfen folkie, secretly wants to be a glam-rocker. Tony, who listens to everything, spends much of his time as a translator between other band members. It's probably those differences that produce the fire and passion in the songwriting process. When things are flowing, the creation process resembles nothing so much as having fiery 4-way sex and delivering the baby on the same night. We've produced a lot of those babies over the years. Good thing they don't eat too much.
