beautiful fashion art
Fashion, for me, is anything that's aesthetic and beautiful. Art, food, film. It's something that I appreciate and really like.
creative ears way
Well, I've been recording myself on a computer since I was about 13 or 14. So it's completely entwined with my creative process. Essentially, it allows you to make music that's better and smarter than you are, by using your ears to lead the way.
three ears sound
To be honest, because there's loud music in my ears probably three hours a day, between sound check and the show, I listen to podcasts more than I listen to music on the road.
thinking careers people
The Lilith Fair thing was Bummer Town - hey, hop aboard the marginalizing train. I guess you had people come out of that and have careers, but I think there was a pretty intense backlash, too.
dad kids car
My dad used to love Steely Dan, the Stones, Jethro Tull and all that. There was always Steely Dan going in my dad's car, but I remember The Royal Scam in particular because it has 'Kid Charlemagne' on it.
beautiful fashion self
In regards to being a fashion aficionado, there's a certain amount of taking yourself seriously in the professional world. The self-effacing person can't completely go down the serious road. But I design, and love when things are beautiful.
night half hours
I only listen to my own music when I'm playing an hour-and-half set each night. I don't put it on recreationally.
guitar playing-guitar
I just love playing guitar, so that's what I'm going to do.
men band
I have a great band. Oh, man. I'm so happy about them.
night trying busy
Generally my day-to-day is pretty much the same. Just busy and working and on tour. And trying to put on the best show possible every night.
iron mind wish
I wish I had a gentle mind and a spine made up of iron.
guitar trying body
I guess trying to throw my body into the guitar is so natural for me that I don't even know how to explain it. I can't imagine life without it.
brother sweat arms
Let us love God my brothers, let us love God. But let it be with the strength of our arms and the sweat of our brow.
self indulge-in tools
However great the work that God may achieve by an individual, he must not indulge in self-satisfaction. He ought rather to be all the more humbled, seeing himself merely as a tool which God has made use of.
