FJ: Let's touch on the new album, The Psychotic Friends Nuttwerk on Hollywood Records. First, "Aids & Armageddon." FISHBONE: It was written by a friend of ours, David Baerwald. He actually owned one of the studios that we recorded in. Actually, Fred, David Baerwald and Fishbone took ten percent of what we would get a piece, a total of twenty percent of the song goes to AIDS research. We started recording the album a little more than a year ago, we started on it. It went about nine months. I'm really happy with it. We had some goals that we wanted to make and I think that I reached our goals and actually may have exceeded them on some levels. Basically, we just wanted to get across some of our experience and the fact that we had gone through a lot and come back with an upbeat attitude through our current record because we feel so much better than where we are now. We had a few temper tantrums in the past and some hard times, but right now, we just feel like everything is on the upswing. That has been the sense for a long time and that is what you get on the record.
