Again, with out any warning, much to the chagrin of my record company who said, "You've spoiled a beautiful song!" (laughs) "This could be a hit!" I said, "Well, that, I wouldn't have written it without this idea, y'know? It has to go to a string quartet here." Um...That's what, that's the point of it, you know? I mean I, I really, I can't claim any originality in this song at all, y'know? It's purely a pastiche of great rock 'n' roll. But, um, going to the string quartet in the middle is my idea. OK? (laughs again) That's me.
