If you listen to Trans, if you listen to the words to “Transformer Man” and “Computer Age” and “We R in Control,” you’ll hear a lot of references to my son and to people trying to live a life by pressing buttons, trying to control the things around them, and talking with people who can’t talk, using computer voices and things like that.
