Imagine a 15-year-old kid saying, 'I have two moms - it's cool.' I don't fear that at all.
I always found the Chicago audience to be a smart, fast-moving, violent and cheerful lot, and it's always good to be back.
Sometimes when you meet a musician you are a fan of, and he or she isn't the friendliest person, you walk away from the experience wondering if you will ever be able to listen to their music again.
Trying to write music, be in a band and keep it all happening is one of the hardest, morale-destroying, heartbreaking things you will ever try to do - and that's when it's going well.

We humans are hard to deal with. We are a loud, complex and demanding bunch. Often, we are best dealt with from a safe distance and for only brief periods of time. This could be why a lot of marriages fail.
Life is weird, great and dangerous.
