I once had trouble crossing the border, due to the fact that the guy I was with was desperate to sneak me into the country, so that we could record his album, and get him a deal. (Yep, I hate to say it, but Stephen has always been that good). I tried to explain to the customs people what we were doing, but, I know enough to know, that when a customs official says "Shut your mouth, I'm trying to be nice to you here" that you better shut your mouth.
I tried telling Stephen that we were gonna get hassled big time, but, he just wouldn't listen. He had his mind made up that it would be just like that scene in Star Wars:
"You don't need to see his identification. These are not the droids you are looking for."

Jon is a fabulous pop writer in my opinion. He is both a clever lyricist, and a writer of good melodies. He showed me this tune, and I suggested that we make it a Ska arrangement.

Shane was kind enough to allow me to sing this song, which used to really scare people, because they couldn't handle the subject matter. Are we all like sheep?
