Emotional Animal Poster

Says Dug: ""Beautiful" is one of my favorites: ?Don't forget you?re beautiful.' Everything I sing about, even if I?m telling somebody something about themselves, I'm actually talking to myself, about something that I've been through. So I just go ?you,? instead of ?me? (laughs). There were many times I just never felt like I was any good, and a lot of us feel that way. So I just figured, hey, ?Don't forget you?re beautiful.? That's a good line. And I've seen people cry, listening to that song. And "Missing;" musically it just slams; just from the beginning, even before I put the lyrics on it, it's like, this song is going to work. It was just special for me. It has some kind of vibe that I wasn't used to, a whole new slant with respect to what I do."

Lightening up from the dirty strip-mining of the record?s guttural tone is a little ditty called "Equal Rights." The song is pret? near a bit of a revival hoe-down, and might be a surefire hit, in a different time, space and dimension.

"Yeah, that was fun," laughs Dug. "There was an old Larry Graham/Grand Central Station song, and Sly And The Family Stone used to do the sang type of thing. They used to sit around and do these harmonies, this black gospel kind of thing, and I grew up in that situation, so I put that together with the slide guitar. I picked up slide years and years ago, but never played it. On this record I play slide all over the place. So I sat down and started strumming a guitar, and I thought, you know, maybe I'll write some kind of old gospel-type song. ?Equal rights for everyone,? yeah!
