Do you [G] think that videos are going to become more commercial and it'll be more difficult
to make [F#] interesting, progressive videos?
[C#m] Well, I think they just get slicker and [E] slicker as time goes on and people start [D#] spending
more and more money on [N] a lot of them.
That's all.
But you can get away with ideas that [E] don't necessarily go one ABCD.
[D#] That sort of thing in a video, where in a film you've [B] got to explain things along [G] the way.
Is Jane going to join Sparks or not?
Or she just did that one song with you?
She's done two songs on the Sparks and Outer Space LP, but she's not joining the band [C] because
the Go-Go's are still in operation.
She had written [Gm] a really nice letter to the Sparks fan club saying [G] how she'd been a fan
of [E] Sparks for about ten years.
[F#] So they passed that letter on to me and I thought that was really [G#m] nice that it's on
Go-Go's stationery and everything on the little header.
So I wrote back saying, [Dm] Jane, would you ever like to do a duet or [G] anything together or
have an affair?
I'm more than willing to do either of them.
[N] Do you enjoy meeting the groupies?
Are they any fun or not?
They provide a valuable service.
What's that?
Well, you know, they tend to have sex with you sometimes.
Oh, God.
Sex is very big in the middle regions, [G#] the non-metropolitan areas of our country.
It's a lot easier in the non-urban major metropolitan areas because they're really [G] desperate.
Really?
You have a choice of Dairy Queen or sex.
Yeah, they like stealing a [F#] lot.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, just so they have proof to their friends that they [F] actually did meet you.
They have to steal something.
[G#] So you have to be really careful where you leave your wallet.
That's the key thing.
One thing I've noticed about your songs and [F#m] the song titles and [N] everything is you're still
writing about the [F#] same rock and roll themes that Elvis created [G] of having a good time and
going to parties and falling in love, but you're putting it in a [D#] brand new context.
One thing that works to my advantage is I think that I'm sort of in a way emotionally
[F#] retarded and I kind [B] of, that's kind of where I live in those kind of [E] things, cool places
and parties and all.
[F] So a lot of people think that I lack, when they get [E] to know me, they think that I lack
a certain emotional [N] maturity, but it allows me to write those kind of songs
to make [F#] interesting, progressive videos?
[C#m] Well, I think they just get slicker and [E] slicker as time goes on and people start [D#] spending
more and more money on [N] a lot of them.
