Actually, I Didn't Start Sweating Until I

I'm Told That My Blood Sugar Level Was Twelve Times The Legal Limit - I Was Sweating Honey.

When I Was A Teenager, Working Towards Dropping Out Of High School To Starting To Tour With Bands, I'd Drive Around In My Vw Bug Every Morning Before School, Very Stoned Listening Over And Over To Zeppelin. This Song Got To Me Because It Just Seemed Mystical. There Is Something About Those Celtic Tunings That Almost Sounds Eastern. Somehow It Would Sweep Me Up Into My Own Little Trance-like State, Like Sting With Those Shamans In The Amazon. But All I Had Was A Bong And A Led Zeppelin Cassette.

Neil Young Is My Hero, And Such A Great Example. You Know What That Guy Has Been Doing For The Past 40 Years? Making Music. That's What That Guy Does. Sometimes You Pay Attention, Sometimes You Don't. Sometimes He Hands It To You, Sometimes He Keeps It To Himself. He's A Good Man With A Beautiful Family And Wonderful Life.

Guilt Is Cancer. Guilt Will Confine You, Torture You, Destroy You As An Artist. It's A Black Wall. It's A Thief.

'some Kind Of Monster' Is Such A Nightmare For Any Musician To Watch Because You're Watching A Band Be Honest To Each Other. Not A Good Idea, Man!
