So, [the song] ‘It’s Working’ is like, “Yeah, we went out there and we did a lot of drugs, and it’s not that great”. Upon the release of Congratulations, he has cited his literary influences as being Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman, The Ice Storm, The Anthology of French Poetry and authors such as Robert Anton Wilson and John Ashbery.
