When you settled in los angeles, you were able to collect unemployment from a job you'd been fired from. You gave yourself that six months to either have a career in musi or you would have to go home. And i believe that one of the first songs you wrote at that time was one that ended up on your first album,. It's a song called company. But it sounded like, or it felt like, it was an excruciating process at the time to write that song. I had written the lyric for this gangster named rocky and luckily he was probably doing who knows when he was really shipping.
