"...usually, if we've stopped playing a song, it's for a good reason: It just didn't feel comfortable. People just don't realize how sensitive we are to what we're playing, and how it feels, and that if we can't relate to the lyrics that we're singing, that's a bad feeling. People don't realize that. If the song represents a part of our lives that was from 10 years ago, then it might feel wrong."
-- Mike to The Onion 10/15/97
