I think musicians have always been drinking and sharing a good wine. It is, I hate to say this, another form of vice.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For too long, musicians have been the greatest enemy of music. Their lack of desire to proselytize is a kind of betrayal.
I wouldn't recommend being a musician to anyone. It's not glamorous. It's a lot of being dirty, not eating, playing for five people and one of them is the bartender.
You have a wine tasting of different years, and we're sort of doing that with our music, giving them a taste of what Journey used to be like.
Musicians are always eclectic. Musicians are always curious and hungry for new things.
Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken.
Ideally, musicians belong outside the Establishment. When they cross that line, it's like something in them has died.
The bottom line is that musicians love to make music and always will.
I think one of the reasons musicians keep doing what they do and writers keep doing what they do, is that we're totally unsuited for anything else. And I for one am much too lazy.
I've had the healthy and sobering experience of constantly working with music that is invariably better than any performance of it can be.
I think musicians are always very generous in promoting anything good they hear. It's just kind of in our nature.
