Yes, but don't forget I also have the luxury of the worlds finest band when it gets lonely.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Yes, we are fortunate because as a band we've always been on the up, always getting more successful.
My music is a luxury.
My favorite band is Yes. They are all phenomenal musicians, and yes, this means I'm subject to ridicule from co-workers and occasionally from my wife, three kids, and even our Labradoodle pup.
My music is very personal. I've created it in solitude. I face a white wall and beller. I like that sound - the expression of loneliness. That's what it's all about.
I've always just given myself to the band, if you know what I mean, and been busy with that.
Sure, we've had our fair share of ups and downs, but I don't know if we've had more than any other rock band... we just have a way of getting ourselves into hot water.
Being in several, disparate bands is what I thrive on.
That's probably half the reason I wanted to be in a band - I wanted to see the world.
So I've had lots of different bands over the years who have stayed with me for certain tours.
There's definitely a solitary aspect to not having a band, and there are times when I wish that I did.
