call consultant dream fan football help lifelong managing people production regular student team tv wrestling
I was a lifelong fan and a student of the wrestling business. When I got the call to come over as a consultant for that, to help with the production of a regular TV show, I was floored. It was a dream come true, like managing a football team would be for some people or whatever.
artist people evil
There are a lot of people, especially the younger generation who don't feel that they need to support the artists by buying their music because they grew up learning that record companies are evil.
people sound chemistry
You can realign people's physical chemistry with sound.
dark finally life people record worrying
I used to live too much of my life worrying about what other people thought, ... My dark and introspective life was solitary. It was valid, (but now) I finally feel like I have a family. I'm integrated. My friends are really important to me, and they have a lot to do with why this record is so (expletive) cool.
acoustic cleared felt finally good hear laid last people personally position seemed shroud solo songs start tour
After I did the solo acoustic tour last year, I felt like I was in a position to start working with people again. I think the shroud of Husker Du was finally laid to rest, and people who wanted to were able to hear those songs for what was probably the last time. So having personally cleared the slate, it just seemed like a good idea to get some people together.
ace bread butter guitar hit needed people position quality risk rock sort time tired watching
I just needed some time to get away from it. I was just tired of it. Tired of being the rock guitar guy. After 20 years of it, I just sort of hit the wall. Yeah, I know that's my bread and butter so to speak, that's my ace card. In my position I was watching a lot of-with the risk of sounding egotistical-lesser quality people doing a lot better with my sound.

The best scenario is where people support the artist directly. We're a ways from that yet-if people can get it for free, why would they pay?
bounce wanna wanting
When I was 22, it didn't matter; I could bounce back quicker. There's something in my mind... about not wanting to tarnish that. I don't wanna overstay my welcome.
change fade issue marriage next nor perception public settled
I think same-sex marriage is an issue that won't be settled soon, nor will the need to change public perception fade away next year.
song thinking views
It reset and mended my freshly damaged and distorted view of life, and made me recognize that this thing we call music, this primal expression that we reshape and refine and define ourselves with, is the gift I was given. The ability to communicate what others feel but cannot fully express, the passing down and around of songs and stories, from Pete Townshend to Joey Ramone to me, to the audiences who take the time and effort to support our work and give us a way to support ourselves -- I'm thinking this is what I am supposed to be doing.
acoustics young shows
How do I explain Neil Young? Great question! I explain Neil Young as, I would kill to see his acoustic shows.
months dislocation
I don't like the dislocation of being away for months at a time. It's not conducive to having a life.
gay men thinking
I think also there was a lot of coming to terms with where I am in life, where I fit in as a gay man in America, and getting more comfortable with who I am.
soundtracks
I have music in my head constantly. I have to have a soundtrack in my head.
