I wonder if Billy knows?
- E: Daddy, what's this song called?
- Me: "1979", by The Smashing Pumpkins.
- E: Who's playing drums?
- Me: A man called Jimmy.
- E: Who's playing guitars?
- Me: Well, a man called James is playing guitar, and a lady called D'arcy is plaing the bass guitar.
- E: Who's singing?
- Me: A man called Billy?
- E: What's he singing?
- Me: Well, words I guess.
- E: Why is _he_ singing?
- Me: Because they're his words. He wrote them.
- E: Why did he write them?
- Me: It's how he chooses to express himself. The songs are about what he's thinking about. Okay?
- E: Okay.
- E: <big pause>
- E: I think he's thinking about formula one cars.
