Article Abstract:

The concept of the individual is extremely important in the US, according to songwriter FM Cornog, who founded East River Pipe. He feels that most Americans cannot understand the idea of the collective whole. The inspiration for the songs on East River Pipe's new album, 'The Gasoline Age,' came from travelling on Route 22, close to where he now lives in New Jersey. He believes that the key dilemma in the US is that there is a great deal of wealth, but a lack of real soul.

He believes that he is also strongly influenced by Tom Lehrer, and is seeking to revive the topical song format. A lot of his work is personal and autobiographical.
