But the other thing besides that which is true is that we have been rediscovered or discovered by a new audience.
Everyone felt as if they were doing something really important. This song, both musically and lyrically, relates to many of the things that are happening now, as the hardest hit areas set out to rebuild.
Everybody was paranoid that it was going to be the same as it used to be. People had cold feet. They weren't sure. It's like getting back into a relationship that didn't work out real well. Once we got back in, we realized why it was so magical, but it took some prodding and some time, and everything just sort of worked itself out organically.
We decided the first part of the show would be our earlier stuff. And then we would come out for the second half, blasting more radio-oriented stuff, the hits, I guess. It gives us the opportunity to put the music together.
We're across the street from the Erotica Museum and Frederick's of Hollywood. This is a perfect place for us to be.
When we were younger, you know, small stuff was small stuff. But we turned it into big stuff. It's just part of being young.
We've all grown up a lot, and we realize that small stuff is just small stuff, and we look at the big picture on every level. We think about the future, we think about music, and how to make music the best we can. There's nothing petty going on. It's very focused.
You get clarity as you get sober, and you get clarity as you get older.
It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. If everyone was straight-laced and uptight, it would sure be a drag. We need a little tug of war in society.
You can't pee like a puppy if you wanna run with the big dogs.
They say the music you listen to in your formative years stays with you and leaves an impression for the rest of your life. For me, the things that I fell in love with happened in the '70s, when artists were nurtured by record companies and it wasn't about singles.
Sometimes when people can't speak English, they hum the melody instead of singing along. Having 20,000 people humming your song is incredible.
Addiction is a really hard thing to kick.
It's interesting. People go to an animal shelter and pick a dog that's been kicked, beaten, and has lost a leg and an eye, and they'll take that dog home and give it love and support, but they don't do that with people.
