It's Been Up To Me To Inspire

Although They Can Do It All The Time, You Know, They're Far Better Than Me, On A Musically, On A Theoretical Music Level. You Know, They're Out Of My League.

I'm Not A Big Fan Of Lead Vocalists, People Who Sing But Don't Play. I Never Wanted To Be In A Band Where The Guy Who Was Up Front Just Sang. I've Always Thought It Better When One Of The Musicians Sings, Like Steve Winwood.

My Identity Shifted When I Got Into Recovery. That's Who I Am Now, And It Actually Gives Me Greater Pleasure To Have That Identity Than To Be A Musician Or Anything Else, Because It Keeps Me In A Manageable Size. When I'm Down On The Ground With My Disease-which I'm Happy To Have-it Gets Me In Tune. It Gives Me A Spiritual Anchor. Don't Ask Me To Explain.

But I Did Go To Music Really Early On, Even When I Was 4 Or 5, I Was Responding To Music Probably In Ways Other Kids Were Not.

All I Am Certain Of Right Now Is That I Don't Want To Go Anywhere, And That's Not Bad For Someone Who Always Used To Run.
