18.08.92 Auburn Hills, MI, intro to ´My Hometown´
´´Thank you....how you doing out there, huh ? (cheers) good....alright....this,
uh....this is a song I do for all the moms and pops in the audience....if you´re
out there tonight.....uh.....I guess kids are, uh.....once you have those kids,
you know, it´s the old cliche, everything looks different and nothing
looks the same....and I think it takes you.....it´s like when you look
at ´em, you´re seeing, you´re seeing your own afterlife.....and
they´re kind of, they´re always pulling you out of that, you know,
people spend so much time inside their own heads and kids don´t let you
do that, they pull you outside of your head and make you get out into the real
world with them....and uh.....that´s a good thing, that´s a good
thing....especially for a songwriter (chuckles)....you spend too much time inside
(chuckles) uh....anyway, uh.....this is a song about the legacy that we leave
our children, our younger brothers and sisters....and uh, the kind of world
that we leave ´em.....how we help them shape their spirits, their souls....
let´s do it, come on, Zak....´´
18.08.92 Auburn Hills, MI, intro to ´Leap of Faith´
´´(?)....this next song is (?) it´s about the vicissitudes
of love.....have you ever been at the mercy of the vicissitudes of love ? (cheers)
Cupid´s little arrow (?)....oh yeah....is there anybody in love out there
tonight ? (cheers) is there anybody ever been stomped on, had their faces crushed
into the dirt, had a stake shoved through their heart, had their pride stripped
away, been humiliated, been gassed up, been all fucked over by love out there
tonight ? (cheers) that seems to be the majority....thank you for your honesty,
but you keep coming back....that´s right....you meet that new girl, you
meet that new guy, it´s gonna be different this time, you put on your
best face, you act like you never really acted your whole life and you do that
as long as you can (chuckles).....but to keep coming back, it takes faith and
where there´s faith, there´s hope.....and where there´s hope,
there´s sex.....(?) preferred but any kind will do....so this is a song
about all those things including documenting my own personal sexual habits in
thinly disguised imagery....because you´ve got fear right here, you´ve
got love right there and to get from here to there it takes....a leap of faith....”
18.08.92 Auburn Hills, MI, middle of ´Light of Day´
´´Because I came to Detroit, Michigan with a mission tonight.....I
came all the way from the great state of New Jersey with a mission here tonight....and
what I wanna know....the only thing I wanna know....the only thing I wanna know....is
there anybody alive out there tonight ? (cheers)(?)....is there anybody that
feels life pulsing through ´em out there tonight ? (cheers) ....´´
