The deeper I get into my life as a musician, I`m discovering that it becomes less and less about other people, and more about what I want to do. And that`s a good place to be.
My version, of course, is not this flag-waving, let`s all get on the Jesus train and ride out of hell. I`m not that kind of guy. It`s an embrace that life is good, worth living and yeah, it`s not easy, but there are more pluses than minuses.
My pat line about the Cubs and payroll is that the amount of merchandise the Cubs would sell off a world series championship would more than cover for a big payroll.
James, that`s a bad situation. I`m not saying it`s not repairable, but it`s pretty far. When you go from being in one of the best bands in the world to some cover band... as far as I`m concerned, he was playing down at the pub.
