My mom really raised me, so I took her name before I ever thought about having a career. It was for personal reasons. My birth name is actually Max Deitch.
Everything on this record is what I really wanted to say, and I'm back to being the poet I always thought I was.
The new record started out being about loss, but it's morphed into being about how relationships go on even though one person is not in a body anymore.
Everything that I have professionally, and so much of what I have personally, is because of this great, fair city, and to see it being drowned like this is almost unbearable.
But when you see personal artifacts relating to - by genealogy at least - a living human being, it was just more impressive to me than just about anything I've ever read about slavery before.
People who are against me attack me personally. They attack the way I look physically, they attack the way I dress, they attack everything but what I say.
At the heart of personality is the need to feel a sense of being lovable without having to qualify for that acceptance.
It really shocked me just to hear of the fans' response to 'St. Anger' not having guitar solos.
I just think it's super amazing that the U.K. fans are so dedicated and loving. I love them, and being with them in person is an amazing feeling.
