I had very literal parents and I wanted to survive with metaphor and art, and there was a real sense of shame around it.

There's a fundamental disconnection in society in the way we live, this way we live that we take so for granted, and we've become very separate from one another and we don't really take lot of time to realize that. And the math is overwhelming to the point of despair, but the answers could be so simple.

The cool thing too, as you get older, you get way better at identifying who's an ally and who isn't. And who has good, positive, "let's make all this sh*t better and let's try to have fun and fix sh*t" people as opposed to "let's sit around and b*tch and berate" people.

Crowdfunding as an idea itself isn't new - bands have been doing it since the dawn of time.

Eat the pain. Send it back into the void as love.

Life as it should be: all friends, all art, all music, all love, all the time.

I think people have been obsessed with the wrong question, which is how do we make people pay for music? What if we started asking, how do we let people pay for music?
