But If I Was Still Trying To

People Want You To Produce Records. They Don't Care What It Took To Make It. When A Band Is Out Doing Concerts, The Fans Don't Want To Know About Equipment Difficulties. They Want Their Hour-and-a-half Release, And That's It.

But If I Was Still Trying To Be In Guns N' Roses While I Wasn't In The Band... I Wouldn't Want To Maintain An Image Like That.

No One Expects The Rug To Be Yanked Out From Underneath Them; Life-changing Events Usually Don’t Announce Themselves. While Instinct And Intuition Can Help Provide Some Warning Signs, They Can Do Little To Prepare You For The Feeling Of Rootlessness That Follows When Fate Flips Your World Upside Down. Anger, Confusion, Sadness, And Frustration Are Shaken Up Together Inside You Like A Snow Globe. It Takes Years For The Emotional Dust To Settle As You Do Your Best To See Through The Storm.

Once You’ve Lived A Little You Will Find That Whatever You Send Out Into The World Comes Back To You In One Way Or Another. It May Be Today, Tomorrow, Or Years From Now, But It Happens; Usually When You Least Expect It, Usually In A Form That’s Pretty Different From The Original. Those Coincidental Moments That Change Your Life Seem Random At The Time But I Don’t Think They Are. At Least That’s How It’s Worked Out In My Life. And I Know I’m Not The Only One.

One Time We Played A Concert In Antwerp, Belgium. At Least I Thought It Was Antwerp, Belgium. Turns Out It Was A Stop 'n Shop In Wisconsin Somewhere, But It Was Fun Man.
