"As I have gotten older, songs tend to be more personal. But you have to be able to write character-study songs as well (To Be Money, Bad Son), from the point of view of someone who doesn’t exist, or it will get really really boring only talking about yourself. Unless you are like a heroine-addict adventurer who keeps falling in love and then getting his heart broken and really wants everybody to get up and dance."

Anonymous Facebook Employee
Rumpus: You’ve previously mentioned a master password, which you no longer use.
Employee: I’m not sure when exactly it was deprecated, but we did have a master password at one point where you could type in any user’s user ID, and then the password. I’m not going to give you the exact password, but with upper and lower case, symbols, numbers, all of the above, it spelled out ‘Chuck Norris,’ more or less. It was pretty fantastic.
Interesting interview with an anonymous Facebook employee. A lot of stuff you probably didn’t know.
