The bottom line is, I tend to be going back to older and older music.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It was only later on that I became more interested in older music.
I actually spend as much time listening to new music as to old. Probably more. I just try to get something out of it all.
My music is how I feel, and that's changed from being twenty years old to being forty-three years old.
Most people my age, their musical life ended in the '80s. They stick with what they know. But my tastes are much broader. And I don't want to stop learning.
As you grow older, your music begins to mature and grow older along with you.
If you're only a fan of the old music, that music's gonna wind up sounding even older.
In my old age, my mind gets more open, and I listen to so many different types of music and I guess that all reflects in my work.
I feel like I've matured more musically than I have personally. But I totally embrace what becoming older has to offer. I find the wisdom that comes with each passing year is a trip.
I have a pretty healthy perspective on what my past music was.
I don't think the music that I do is nostalgic in any way; I don't think about going back to nice, old-fashioned music. I'm certainly influenced by old music, but I want to bring it slap-bang up to today.
