people wake
There are so few people that wake up every day and go do something that they don't dread... I'm very lucky.
certain concern fictional frame songs work
I'll take a certain concern of my own or a situation and try to frame it around a fictional story, but sometimes just straight-up autobiographical songs work well, and sometimes a story is better. I like stories. I like to hear them. I don't think there are enough of them in songs anymore.
hard lucrative people performance roll sound work
I know it's financially lucrative to go out on my own, but I don't like it. It's really hard work, just the performance aspect. I like people who look like they've been together for too long and sound like they've been together too long. I like rock n' roll bands.
hard moved people steer takes trying wherever
I'm not trying to steer people in a direction. I'm just trying to move them. Wherever it takes them, it doesn't matter to me. I just want them to be moved in one way or another, and that's a hard thing to do, I think.
kinds levels mean movies open songs stories
I like those kinds of songs that have details that you remember and that have stories that mean something and that open up into different levels philosophically. I like those kinds of movies, and I like those kinds of books.
fans kid rather rock
I'd rather have 1000 of our fans than 10,000 Kid Rock fans!
writing years deadline
I write pretty much year-round, but I definitely do more when a deadline is looming.
drinking makeup faces
When I stopped drinking... there were so many things I had to face that I didnt even realize were part of my makeup before. When you do that and have any changes that severe, you lose a lot of things, both good and bad.
thinking people favorites-things
My favorite thing about going to concerts has always been looking around and thinking that theres a lot of people in here that are very much like me, a lot of people in here I could have a full conversation with.
tired traveling-alone
I've grown tired of traveling alone, won't you ride with me?
boredom done needs
I've never been someone who's very prone to boredom. I don't know, boredom seems like something you should grow out of at about 15 or 16. There's so much that needs to be done.
wise thinking careers
I don't think I'd be happy if I were satisfied. I enjoy challenge, and I wouldn't say that I'm an ambitious person career-wise or financially, really. I would like to travel more comfortably, but that's really about all I need.
cancer people abuse
People love to be listened to and represented, and they love it when they feel like you have some of the same problems that they do. Everybody deals with things like romantic difficulties in relationships and death and cancer and abuse.
people wake-up lucky
There are so few people that wake up every day and go do something that they dont dread... Im very lucky.
