I get really tired of hearing of all these old rockers whine and complain about how hard life on the road can be. Just stop if you don't like it. I don't think of it as work. I love it all.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of bands whine about the road and how tough it is.
I don't like the road. I love being on the track. I like being indoors and the fact I'm not battling past 200 other riders.
Being on the road is a great habitat for creating new music because there's so many different experiences.
The best thing about being on the road in general is just playing every single night in front of people that are genuinely fans of your music.
The road is hard, and you have to get accustomed to it.
Listening to hard rock on the subway doesn't work for me, especially modern hard rock. Driving in L.A. helped me to understand the appeal of that music.
The road hasn't always been paved for me. People identify with that. Everybody passes through hard times, and I think that's part of my appeal - that I have, too.
I refuse to be one of those artists who, 10 years from now, they're bitter about the rise and the fall of their career. I understand that somewhere there's a peak and a crest for me, and I'm going to enjoy all levels. I'm going to enjoy this ride that I'm on, and when it slows down, that's when it will be time for another phase of my life.
Oh yah, I'm definitely an old rocker.
I found out how great the E Street Band is. The reality of a band that you can't scoop aside, can't put in a corner.
