"The Desert Garden is very much about the crossroads. It's a place where you must make choices, grave choices. This is where are garden of sensuality differs from the Garden of Eden because in a place where the creator is the feminine scribe telling the story, the bard, in our book of genesis, in our 'In the beginning' we as women were encouraged to eat from the tree of knowledge because that is how we could help our pride and our tribe and if we don't then will would be subservient and unequal to the male and therefore cannot help him and cannot serve the pride. As a songwriter and someone who chronicles time, um, I have to feel the pulse of what is current. I was able to include General Joy on the record because I wrote it, um, in July 2004 and recorded it and it was relevant then and it is relevant again now. We are still at war, as of this taping and General Joy is very much a current figure. Or not because there are not a lot of Generals that we would call General Joy and that is the point. General Joy has lost his boys and they have been left behind, he needs a solder girl now that liberty has been gagged."
