The Black Eyed Peas’ latest album, “The Beginning,” sheds the political sermonizingof its predecessor, “The E.N.D.,” in favorof a let’s-party hedonism. How would you describe its sound?


It’s electro. Electro is today’s disco — making electronic musicnot for the sake of selling it but for sharingit and touring around the world D.J.-ing.
A friend of mine says that nightlife represents the greatest waste of human energy inthe history of mankind.

Your friend probably doesn’t go to clubs. Right now in the world, clubbing is needed. It’s a time when people want to rub shoulders against people theydon’t know and share, even if the sharing is expressing your like over a beat.
O.K., but clubbing seems to invite a lot of drinking and drug use.

So do restaurants. I could go to a restaurant and get drunk. I could go to a restaurant and eat all the wrong food and get freaking diabetes and high cholesterol.

That's all, I just thought it was interesting....
