I need a template of a template

The game Rock Band has been haunting me like a bad ring tone. It gets stuck in my head and momentarily effaces all that I love about music.

I always felt that the most common thread in my life from when I was young until now has been a highly observant, very analytical mind.

I don't want to mislead people.

With Sleater-Kinney, we did a lot of improvisation in our live shows, and even our process of songwriting involved bringing in disparate parts and putting them together to form something cohesive.

To be a fan is to be curious, and to be curious is to have openness... Part of being a fan is to allow 360 degrees of experience - to immerse without judgment. It's like a really fearless step forward into new experience. There's something that feels very timeless about fandom.

Once you're away from music, I realize that's as intrinsic to who I am as anything else. That's the part that takes me out of my brain.
