When you feel like you've had a good show, you go backstage and you talk to yourself about it, and if you have a bad show you talk to yourself about it.

I really love playing music with other people. It's more fun to be on the road with others. It's kind of lonely out there when you play on your own!
people listening swapping
With other people, you're always swapping music. Somebody is always listening to something you've never heard. It's a great way to hear all sorts of new things.

Love's a recurring theme through my work.
