If so much of your experience is devoted to the thought of documentation, you're already sort of spinning out this narrative from this moment that you are attempting to control instead of just experiencing it.

Despite the fact that I trust the people at major labels who tell me that they want to offer me a home as a "stable artist," who can just do what he does for the long haul, time has shown that it rarely works out that way - the bottom line is the bottom line, not mention the threat of mergers and firings and whatnot, and people get dropped.

I gotta make a living somehow, and make ends meet. I accept the idea of having a retirement.

I do feel like at the end of anger I have to have something that grounds it.

When you're traveling on a body of songs that you have played for many, many years, for most nights of your life - I'm sure you've experienced this yourself - it's not that every night is not it's own thing. It is.

I'm even old-school Instagram. I'm here for your "What did you have to eat today?" I'm fine with that.

Some people never need to let up at all.
