about

Back To Momo is very special for me. I wrote it with Todd Youth. Out of all our records I have to say this is my favorite, collectively. The first three were about pain and casting out darkness. For me this was about getting back to the rock and having fun. The record was effortless to write. Todd... I miss him and love him. Momo is a whore house in West Hollywood, California that I used to frequent quite often. I took the pictures inside of the place. The picture on the back cover is actually Momo. Me and my road guy Scott Willis jumped out of my SUV and took pictures of it because I needed a picture for the back of the album. The next time I went to Momos after that the madame was like, “We saw you take picture!” I’m like, “no, I didn’t take no pictures.” She’s like, “you take picture.” I was like, “okay, yeah, we took a picture”. (LAUGHS)

There are thirteen tracks on Back To Momo. Again, I’m very proud of this record. It was very well received. I just worry about topping this one because it’s so good.Margot Shea, who is a girl I grew up with in New York, came up with the concept for the cover. Doni Gray did the graphics and put it all together.

1. Alive-N-Well Smack In The Middle of Hell That’s been a saying I’ve had for a long, long time. It’s pretty self-explanatory. It’s kind of about keeping your sanity despite the chaos that’s going on around you. We have a great video for this song... Complete with midgets jumping out of boxes, a porn star, and all kinds of stuff.
2. Shake It Off is about all the pain I’ve been carrying around forever, and I just need to let that shit go.
3. Mirror, Mirror on the Wall is about looking at yourself… Self-reflexion. Stop blaming everyone else. Look at yourself.
4. Evil Eye is about my mom, and what I went through as a kid. We have a video for that song.
5. Superjaded… is one of my favorites. The Cult was an inspiration for this song. I’ve been in Hollywood a very long time, so I’m “SuperJaded.”
6. Rock N Roll Outlaw was done at the persistence of Todd Youth, you know, cause people call me “Rock N Roll Outlaw.” It’s a Rose Tattoo cover. We both love Rose Tattoo.
7. Back To Momo is the title track, and it is one of my favorite songs to sing. I’m really proud of the lyrics. The title Back To Momo comes from failed relationships and having to pay to get you some minus the drama.
8. We Are Not Saints is actually a quote taken out of the preamble of how it Works in AA. We are not saints. Everyone does wrong sometimes.
9. It’s All About You is about my daughter’s mother.
10. Meet Me On Zen Street... I wrote that when I was on a retreat in the desert trying to get zen and centered. This is another one of my favorite songs on the album. That was definitely inspired by The Ramones. The Ramones are a huge influence and inspiration for me.
11. Graveyard Valentine is one of my favorite titles. It’s about having loved ones in the fucking graveyard.
12. Wined, Dined & 69’d was inspired by Motörhead.
13. Read Between The Lines was an inspiration from Andrew Wood. I sang in Malfunkshun, which was his band before Mother Love Bone. He was a huge influence on me. He was my muse. I got to see some ugly shit in his circle and got to read between the lines.
