Stuart was insisting (we contribute songs), which I thought was a pretty disastrous idea. The first couple of records were very self-contained worlds with a style that was all their own. It struck me as being insane to muddle what was so distinctive in the first place. I thought there would be a decline in quality. And I think there was.
More Quotes from Stevie Jackson:
Everyone is making a really big deal about it, and that's great. America is my favorite place in the world. It is full of wonder and magic.Stevie Jackson
Fans keep us healthy, keep us not so insular. Through contact with them we learn things. It's strange even hearing that word, fans. I don't think of them as fans. Or else, I am a fan too. We try to blur the distinction between performer and onlooker. We want a direct communication.
Stevie Jackson
Waking up every morning in the sunshine puts you in a happy frame of mind.

Actually, it's just the opposite. Stuart is still the main guy, obviously, but he now draws more from the group than ever. In the old days, people would come in with their finished songs. Now, everyone in the group contributes ideas a chord sequence or a riff or a rhythm or anything.
Stevie Jackson
The change is something organic that has happened. We used to play very quietly because we would be playing in a cafe or in someone's front room or a library. We would be drawing people in, playing gentler to capture people's attention. That works up to a certain amount of people, maybe 700 or 800. But after that it didn't work at all.
