A True Musician, Like Johnny

I Used To Work In Jobs I Hated Because I Needed The Money To Buy A Guitar. I Know What It Feels Like To Be Depressed. On The Other Hand, I Also Know What It Feels Like To Have Money, To Be Successful, To Be Independent, But I Can Tell You That Money And Success Never Solve Your Problems.

When That Much Time Goes By, You're Really Listening To Your Old Music Differently. At The Time It's Written, It Was The Beginning Of Our Career And With Every Song We're Thinking, 'this Is What's Creating Us.' Now, Nothing Is Creating Us. We're Well-created. We're There. It Becomes Just Pure Pleasure And You Become Sort Of An Archeologist Of Your Own Music. You Don't Judge It, Because What's The Point? It's A 30-year-old Song. It Just Becomes Fun.

If I Had A Musical Identity That Was Definable Then It Would Be Time To Get Into Painting Or Something Else. Race Car Driving.

I Can Go From One Extreme To Another, From Playing At The Sydney Opera House On The Songbook Tour To Shows With Soundgarden At Voodoo Fest, All In A Week.

Radio And Tv Can Still Push A Band, But Things Need To Be Shaken Up. There Is The Internet, But Mostly What I See There Is Little Kids On Youtube Playing Music.
