A True Musician, Like Johnny

They Always Say That The Entertainment And Restaurant Industries Are The Only Businesses That Don't Sink During A Depression Or A Recession. I've Done Both, And I Recommend To Anyone Who Wants To Be A Rock Star, If That Doesn't Pan Out, Become A Cook.

I Don't Ever Want Something That I Didn't Do Because I Was Afraid Of It Or I Didn't Think I'd Be Good At It - Within Reason. Obviously I'm Never Going To Be Able To Play The Trumpet.

I Never Wrote Music Or Arranged Songs Or Lyrics When I Was Under The Influence Of Anything But Coffee. That's Not Gone Away.

I Would Hope That The Future Would Have An International Community That's Not Just Bent On Commerce, But That's Focused On Refugees, Of All Kinds And From All Places. We Don't Know That Won't Happen In The U.s. Someday. It Literally Could Be A Crisis From Climate Change, Or Anything. I Think There Needs To Be A Global Focus On People Taking Care Of People.

At The End Of The Day It's The Fans Who Make You Who You Are.
