I'm Not Usually In A Talkative Mode.

What Makes That Song, I Think, Is How Stark It Is.

And If You Don't Believe The Sun Will Rise, Stand Alone And Greet The Coming Night In The Last Remaining Light.

My First Favorite Band That Made Music Important To Me Was The Beatles. I Was A Little Kid. I Didn't Know Who Was Singing What Song Or Who Wrote What Song.

My Brother Brought Home 'at San Quentin' When I Was About 7, And We Played It Over And Over Again.

I Started As A Drummer, So I Sort Of Took On Singing Duties By Default. I Had Sung Backgrounds And Some Lead Vocals From Behind The Drums In Different Bands That I'd Been In, And I'd Gotten Great Responses For The Songs I Would Sing. I Really Started Pursuing The Possibility Of Being A Lead Singer Based On The Fact That I Was Working A Full-time Restaurant Job And Then Playing Gigs At Night, Hauling Drums Around. One Day, It Just Dawned On Me That, 'hey, I Could Be In A Band And Be The Singer, And It Would Be A Lot Easier!'
