| D.D.: And �What bin do we put you in, in the record stores?� TIM: It�s like, what does it matter? Just put them all in one big bin. D.D.: Put it alphabetically, you know. TIM: And people can just look and go, �what�s up with that?� or �That sounds interesting�. Or they�ll just buy it because of the looks of the packaging or I don�t know.

Actually �Walk on Water� was one of the songs I wanted to do as a country song or you know, that was kind of what I had in mind when I was writing it. I have this friend of mine who is an older kind of guy. He used to work on our van and he was always giving us advice. And one day he said �I�ve never seen a man who could walk on water� and I thought, �That�s a good line��. He�s the one I heard refer to �Crowbar Hotel� � �Hey, meet me at the Crowbar Hotel�. D.D.
