Brand New Masterpost
I end up finding a lot of these when im searching for pictures and many are lost so. here. I don’t know how credible all the early day ones are, and many are conducted by fans in the earlier days and therefore not always the most professional, but usually give more information than standard articles. Not all are full of new information,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1&v=WhuVTtjn2rM - play crack the sky with the really touching speech in front of it “…And for me, I did when I got married. My wife helped me through everything. So now, when I play these songs—and she’s six months pregnant, by the way—all I think about is, ‘I’m so glad I don’t have to feel this way anymore.’ It’s a really great feeling. I never have to worry about finding someone to date ever again in my entire life. So here is to all of you finding that person in your life, and never having to worry about your life being an analogy for dying in a shipwreck, like this song is.”
