I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool but if that's all you've got it's just boring. Everything I write whether it's happy or sad has a sense of humor to it.
You know 'The Golden Girls' was a very unusual show to start on. I was young and it was a show about old people and it was a very traditional show but it was also an amazing training ground for a joke-writer. It forced me to learn those skills.
