Written in ’85 in my little apartment right below Runyan Canyon.  Struggling times.  Working as bartender from 4pm until 2am.  Getting home around 4am..this was my only real time to write…  So i’d go in the bathroom where the acoustics were pretty good with less chance of disturbing neighbors, then write and sing until I couldn’t hold me head up anymore.  Eventually, around 6am I would sleep… until 2pm, then start the day over again.

There was hope then.  And I hope people in their young 20’s feel that same hope I did.  I don’t think it’s as simple now, but I wish it for them.
