Can anybody send me as many links that you know with Ed talking about typewriters? Or if you may already know something that you can share about them?! I know he is into vintage ones and I am very curious as to what kinds? I NEED help with this...it's for something I want to see if I can accomplish! Thanks!!! :D

    I looked for a bit tonight and couldn't find anything. I do remember an interview or clip some time around when backspacer came out about typewriters and the whole "backspacer" button but I'm not fully grasping it and can't find anything. Sorry. Maybe some of the second shift crew can help you out with your research.

    Q: I like that in the liner notes to “Ukulele Songs” you give credit to your 50-year-old Torpedo typewriter.

    A: Yeah, I love the script -- a German script font. I’ve had a lot of typewriters that I’ve had relationships with; one still has a piece of masking tape that says “$8” on it. I love working on them. I can’t fix a computer or a car, but I can fix a typewriter. I like them because you can write on them late at night, depending on what you’re fortifying yourself with, and the next morning you can still figure what you wrote. There are times where I would keep three typewriters on a table, and I’d have three complete thoughts going. With computers, you make folders, files – I don’t know about those things. I have sheaves of paper polluted with words and paragraphs. I found it a good tool for me. And it keeps your hands strong for guitar playing.

    :D
