We've seen stories over the past week or two that said we would have a big announcement at E3, but we thought expectations were being set too high, ... So we thought we'd get the word out early.
Remember- Now- Be Here Now. As it's not like it was before. The Past was...Be Here Now. As it's not like it was before. It was. Why try to live a life that isn't real no-how ? A mind that wants to wander round a corner is an unwise mind. Be Here Now.
The thing that pleases me the most about it is that young people like it. It's given kids from 6 to 16 an alternate view of music to what's been available for the past 20 years.

The Stones are good - nearly as good as the Roadrunners.
There's high, and there's high, and to get really high - I mean so high that you can walk on the water, that high-that's where I'm going.
Different ideas had been talked about, that we could do the background music or even write a new song or something, but this became the perfect vehicle because we always had a thing between the four of us that if any one of us wasn't in it, we weren'
There's high, and there's high, and to get really high--I mean so high that you can walk on the water, that high-that's where I'm going'.
We'll try a couple with just these acoustic guitars.
