But we're still rehearsing and planning to make a new album next year. We have some really good new songs that we've already been playing on that last tour that we just finished.

Lyrics are back, maybe. It seems like there was a bit of an attitude that lyrics are not important.

That's why you go to a nice studio. You can get a magic take. You don't really have to do anything to it.

You know, it's people's lives, so as you get a little older, your own life narrative, I guess, invades a little more. It's not like we're traveling in separate buses to each show. It's a labor of love, so we just do it because we like it. Maybe someone's gonna move, or not want to go on a tour for some reason - that could happen, I guess.

I've lost my writing skills since college. I couldn't write a book. It would take a long time.

Most people want to be seen or heard. You want to shine. That's my way of shining.

I did some writing. I was just taking the kids to school. I did a couple things and we did some tours. It was a lot of downtime.
