Have you dialed up any especially patriotic songs to play? Some Bon Jovi?I thought about it. But I’ve been living in hotel rooms cause I’m on tour, and haven’t had much time to work on anything. If anything abundantly appropriate pops up at me, that has to do with service, I’ll do it. I won’t do “This Land is Your Land” or anything like that. Bon Jovi is tempting. I don’t think I have that long to play. I’ll play, and then I’ll be in the corner holding my hands, and crying, while Star Jones brings me a heating pad.You should play that Frankie Goes to Hollywood song “Relax Don’t Do It." That would be a sweet cover.You’re not wrong. It’s something we’ve considered covering before. We’ve talked about it. The tempo is perfect.What is a cover over the years you’ve loved to play?
I’ve always enjoyed doing “Barrytown” by Steely Dan. But we don’t do anything necessarily unique with it. My greatest memory of any cover is getting to play “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head” with Burt Bacharach. I got to do it with him on television. It was quite an honor.

Ah, a good question. I’d say right now the sound of the life of my mind is the sound of your voice in my phone. And the Frankie Goes to Hollywood song. What’s the sound of the life of your mind?I’d say the sound of the life of my mind is your song by that name, because I was listening to it right before we spoke. And somehow while I was listening, I was looking at pictures of South African Sausage Trees. You should see these things. The mature fruits dangle from stalks like giant sausages. They can get up to two feet long and weigh fifteen pounds. They have blood red flowers that bloom at night that are pollinated by bats.You’re right. I gotta see that.I wanted to try something with you, if you don’t mind. I wanted to start fictional beef between you and another artist. If we were to start fictional internet beef between you and another artist, who would be? Like a fake long standing rift. How about Kanye West? I’m starting beef right now between you and Kanye West. Y’all have had beef for years, as of now. But what’s the rift? Is it something about Kim Kardashian? You say Kanye West has small sausage trees.It started with my jealousy of his song writing. I wish I could summon that freedom in writing myself. But I kick his ASS in piano playing. Kanye’s piano playing sucks. That’ probably what the beef is about. He doesn’t care that he can’t play piano. But I just keep driving that home.
