dark finally life people record worrying
I used to live too much of my life worrying about what other people thought, ... My dark and introspective life was solitary. It was valid, (but now) I finally feel like I have a family.

I think same-sex marriage is an issue that won't be settled soon, nor will the need to change public perception fade away next year.

amount business expect heading involve label maybe music playing punk regular road rock room sit stop stuff towards
Maybe if I get off the road and stop playing with punk rock bands, there'll be a lot more records. It would probably involve me getting out of the conventional music business as we know it and heading more towards a self-sufficient, self-structured release-type thing. I wouldn't expect a regular label to keep up with the amount of stuff that I've got, or the amount of stuff I would have if I could just sit in a room and just write music.

The best scenario is where people support the artist directly. We're a ways from that yet-if people can get it for free, why would they pay?
song thinking views
It reset and mended my freshly damaged and distorted view of life, and made me recognize that this thing we call music, this primal expression that we reshape and refine and define ourselves with, is the gift I was given. The ability to communicate what others feel but cannot fully express, the passing down and around of songs and stories, from Pete Townshend to Joey Ramone to me, to the audiences who take the time and effort to support our work and give us a way to support ourselves -- I'm thinking this is what I am supposed to be doing.

How do I explain Neil Young? Great question! I explain Neil Young as, I would kill to see his acoustic shows.

I don't like the dislocation of being away for months at a time. It's not conducive to having a life.
