   DF finally comments on Dr. Wu   
   26 Aug 06 18:51:42   
   
   From: fake@msn.com   
      
   LF: Uh huh. So I keep noticing these people with these "WU" signs.   
   What's up with that?   
      
   DF: I guess thay want us to play "Dr. Wu". What they don't realize is   
   that my personal psychological mechanics insure that, the more they   
   press it, the less likely I am to play it. The truth is, though, it's   
   hard for me to connect with the lyric to that song anymore, and,   
   musically speaking, there's something stunted about it, something pat   
   and unfinished. But maybe we'll do it anyway. Who knows.   
      
   LF: Is it because that song represents for you...   
      
   DF: Ixnay on the U-way questions, Lewis. Enough already.   
      
   LF: Is the fact that Mike McDonald's on the tour the reason your   
   setlist is so hit-heavy this year?   
      
   DF: Well, we've got some new band members. We started rehearsing songs   
   we knew they had to learn, the standard bunch, songs we knew we'd   
   probably want to play at some point. And then we ran out of time. So,   
   at sound checks, we try to rehearse some new things, but Mike has to   
   sound check as well, so, there's not much time, and they've got to be,   
   at least, decent, you know? We should have a bigger book by next   
   summer. Lewis, I've got to boogie, son.   
      
   LF: Thanks, Donald.
