Nick Said: "I wrote "Buried in the Sand" about John. We'd had a conversation, and we'd known each other since we were kids. I was 10 when I met him, he was 12, and we'd been together that whole time. And we'd been on the journey until 1996 together. So it was really, really strange when he called up. I was sitting on a chair in my living room thinking, "Is this really happening?"
And it was — and I of course tried to talk him out of it and said, "Take some more time. Think about this, think about that," and he said, "No. Believe me, I've thought about it all, and this is what I have to do and what I want to do. We've had an amazing time together." Then Simon and I had a conversation with Warren, too, of course, and I suppose we were just a little numb from it."
