I'm thinking about coming out with a full body velour jumpsuit. No joke.If I get tired of playing music, I'll go home. I won't come out with a new flavor of ice cream.
I'm getting to a point where everything is becoming streamlined in my life. I'm learning how to stand onstage for two hours and play in front of thousands of people as if I am completely in the moment every moment.
I came from the last couple of years in a generation where we didn't have a computer around so we didn't waste as much time on the internet as we do now so I had large chuncks of time which to devote to doing something.
Playing music to me is as close to having super powers as you can have.
What I enjoy about the live experience is getting onstage, being handed a guitar that is in tune, taking it off mute, knowing that the very moment I want to play a note, I can play it. People are waiting on me and I'm waiting on me, and I have no idea what I'm going to play. That's the biggest joy in life.
I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock.
So scared of getting older I'm only good at being young So I play the numbers game to find a way to say that life has just begun.
Scared of the world outside you should go explore, pull all the shades and wander the great indoors. Though lately I can't blame you, I have seent he world and sometimes I wish your room had room for two.
I wanted everybody to like me. I thought I was one shuck and jive away in every direction.
the trapper keeper is the genisis of OCD for my generation.
We have an immediate and dire need for this. The board has voted already to go ahead with this.
We could finish our season on a winning note. That was certainly our goal. We're real excited. We really are. We're getting there.
I don't have anybody telling me what to do.
Never underestimate the power of "I'd like that.
