• 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.

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.
