That’s One Of The Great Things About

What I Really Miss These Days In Music - Is The Music. I Prefer To Listen To Melodies And Songs, Not Just Sounds.

My First Instrument Was Actually The Trombone, But That Didn't Last Long. Soon I Was Playing Guitar In Bands From The Time I Was 11 Or 12.

I Think Maybe People See Bands And Musicians As Some Sort Of Superhero Unrealistic Sport That Happens In Another Dimension Where It's Not Real People And Not Real Emotions. So, I Grew Up Listening To Beatles Records On My Floor. That's How I Learned How To Play Guitar. If It Weren't For Them, I Wouldn't Be A Musician.

I Guess It Was Exciting That Every Time I Pulled Up To The Gate Of My House, I Wondered If Someone Was Going To Jump Out Of The Bush And Stab Me In The Face.

Whenever I Say I Made A Record In The Garage, People Just Assume That I Have, Like, A Lear Jet Parked In There Or Something. But Really There's Old Luggage, A Couple Of Bikes. It's Big Enough To Put One Minivan In. That's It. No Dartboard. I'm So Not Macho.
