Latest Loudon Wainwright III Quotes from Interviews

• Estoy escribiendo sobre lo que me pasa ahora. Quiero decir, tuve un reemplazo de cadera hace un par de años. Tengo una canción sobre eso. ¿Y por qué no? Me parece que fue un gran acontecimiento. Es divertido, horrible e interesante, así que ¿por qué no escribir sobre ello?

• In a way, the songs are written to be performed. I put them on records, but I'm always thinking about how an audience would react to it. I realized at age 7 that I wanted to be a performer, and I used to do that, and occasionally I'll get an acting job. I don't really make much of a living as an actor, but it's fun to do it when I get a job.

• Hazlo lo mejor que puedas. No significa necesariamente que tengas que empeorar cuanto más lo hagas. Puede mejorar, creo... en algunos aspectos. Quiero decir, no escribo tanto como solía hacerlo. Pero no hago muchas cosas tanto como antes. Así que ese es el orden natural de las cosas, también. Más o menos vives el presente. Sólo intentas conseguir la siguiente canción, sea la que sea. Y no pensar demasiado en lo que pasó en el último disco, o en el disco que hiciste hace 20 años, porque esos ya han pasado. Eso ya está hecho.

• I have a song called "Men." I mean, manhood and trying to be one, and failing as one, and trying to be a husband and a father, and failing at that. I love failure. It's stuff that I'm thinking about all the time in my life, so it would make sense to me anyway to write about it.

• My father writings stuff was always his personal stuff, like about the day we had to put our dog down, or finding old photographs of his father, or passing a guy he went to boarding school with on a street in New York. Very specific, detailed, descriptive columns that he wrote. I think in a way, it could be argued that my best songs are that way too. They're almost journalistic in that they're very clear, and very specific, and they describe things.

• Right away, I knew I didn't want to have that look of other guys with long hair and bell-bottom pants, because everybody else had that look. I kind of adopted my boarding-school look, which made me stand out. Then the next thing you know, the first song on my first record is a song called "School Days." It's about going to the boarding school I went to. So then I just started to write about myself. The very first song I ever wrote was about a guy I met in a boatyard that we were working in. So I've always had this thing about sticking to more or less what I knew.
