IIRC his mission statement for the album was to write about the changing of the times as he saw it, shit like celebrity (Starz), war and security (FGAC, DC, US). But the whole thing's just unfocused, not at all cohesive.
When I consider it, most of the songs that actually stuck with me are the ones where it doesn't feel like there was a specific agenda to them and he was just talking about personal shit, more or less.
