"I've written a couple of songs on my last album, "The Preacher, The Politician or The Pimp," I like to write original songs and it has kind of a Curtis Mayfield feel to it and it's just kind of documenting what I perceive sometimes as, all of these guys have a gift of words to make people do things against their best interest. So; what's the difference? I try to be thoughtful in my lyrical content but then also, there are songs that I've written like "Insurance" which has a Jimmy Reed feel to it but insurance is a serious subject but you'll laugh because of the things that I'm going through to try and get the insurance.. Sometimes when I do listen to some blues, some people just want to get to the guitar solo or the piano solo and I hate the predictable rhyme words in a song like, beat street, air hair or whatever; it's like c'mon man, let's put a little bit more thought into writing these songs and if you don't have it, maybe you should co-write with somebody but that's how the music or the genre doesn't move forward because they are not putting thought into it or the lyrics."
Toronzo says that the length of his shows varies depending on the venue but seriously, we are wanting to know; what about the pizza?
"I go anywhere from 75 to 90 minutes unless it's a club situation and then maybe two 60s or something like that. It's just a good time, I tell my stories, my original songs all in a contemporary context and then being in New York I have the whole Chicago and New York debate (laughs); I'm gonna lean heavy on some of that. I've got to represent Chicago in New York so, OK, here we go, let's see what I can do. I do have a small story though, recently we just played all around France and Belgium and we're at the Eiffel Tower and I'm just yelling, Chicago, Chicago and I hear some guy in a very American accent yell, "Your Pizza is trash!" So, I turned around and saw who it was and I said, "You from New York?" He said, "Jersey" and I said, "Close enough" (Laughs) but it was a nice little banter. I mean, here we are, two Americans on the Eiffel Tower debating who has the best pizza; it was cool."
