I am genuinely always trying to avoid shit storms. I’ve had enough. It’s not like I have a shortage of songs about shit storms, it’s not like, ‘Oh good, here’s another shit storm for a song.’ Watch a fun interview with E on the EELS tour bus in the midst of their 2018 tour at the Mad Cool festival in Madrid HERE.EELS will make their fifth appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman July 26.

That changed in my late teens. All my friends had gone off to college and I didn’t have any plans. For some reason I didn’t think I was going to live to the age of 18, then I was 18 and it was like, ‘Oh I’m still here and everyone is going to college. I don’t want to go to college, what am I going to do?’ My girlfriend said, ‘Well the only thing you really care about and are passionate about is music. You’re good at it too, so why don’t you pursue that?’ and that was the first time I went, ‘Well maybe she’s right, since I don’t know what else to do?!’” a b Smith, Ethan (October 11, 1996).

Because albums like Beautiful Freak would act as the musical equivalent of the psychiatrist's couch. Is it a challenge to put new songs up against those old favourites which you know will always go down well?This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.
