About Me

............I'm aware of what I've become...............
...and I'm rubbing in the salt.....
Q: Why do you make music?
A: It makes me happy
Q: Who is your favorite songwriter?
A: At this moment it happens to be Neil Diamond
Q: Favorite album?
A: Shit!...that's a tough one... I can't pick one.... but on any given day it's one of these 4.... Jeff Buckley-Grace; Marvin Gaye-What's Goin On; or Sky Cries Mary-Exit at the Axsis. Foreigher-4
Q: Who will win the war on drugs?
A: Shoppers.
Q: What is this world coming to?
A: China.......good thing I'm chinese!!
Q: Do you have any advice for young musicians who are making their own sandwiches?
A: Yes.....fuck the sandwiches...musicians eat Coffee-Alcohol-and cocaine, and if you get a record deal, you get to move up to heroin.... Isn't that in the "Being a Musician for Dummies" book?
Q: Where do songs come from?
A: Well, since there are only 12 notes to choose from....LOL...Nah....I can't give away the whole store...but I'll tell you that they are simply born from a moment in which pieces from the inside are trying to jump to the outside...
Q: How many Deadheads does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Why change it man, when you can follow it around for 25 years and watch it burn out? ( I stole this from Jeremy...)
