This is one of those songs that opened up this whole other story of this guy's life. I mean I kind of bullshit my way into this world and I think about this guy a lot. And over the last ten years I keep writing more things in my head about what happened to him in the past and what made him do this. This song is actually—to me— the center-point of a story, and there's what happens after and there's what all came before. My favorite thing to do when I'm sitting in traffic is to think about Walt Grace and figure out what he's up to. What he was up to. He died in 1985.
