'8 Miles to Pancake Day' is a reconciliation of the classic space-time dilemma.

I think it's a true ethical dilemma.

'Deacon Blues' was special for me. It's the only time I remember mixing a record all day and, when the mix was done, feeling like I wanted to hear it over and over again. It was the comprehensive sound of the thing: the song itself, its character, the way the instruments sounded, and the way Tom Scott's tight horn arrangement fit in.

There was a film called 'FM,' and we were asked to do the title song. And I said, 'Does it have to have any specific words?' And they said, 'No, it just has to be about FM radio.' It took a day or two to write.

It's the classic cheap-seat-seeker dilemma. Do you wait, or do you buy?

This is a classic dilemma between economic development and environmental conservation. These are never easy questions.
