'some Kind Of Monster' Is Such A

Chicago Gave Me More Music Than Any Other City In America.

Nothing's Going To Keep Me From Making Music. If I Were In The Want-ads In The Back Of The Paper Or Playing To Six People At A Coffee Shop, I'd Still Love To Make Music.

I Don't Want To Say That Most Rock Bands Live These Formulaic Biography Existences - But They Kinda Do. There's Always A Divorce. There's Always An Od. There's Always A Bad Business Manager.

I Think Maybe People See Bands And Musicians As Some Sort Of Superhero Unrealistic Sport That Happens In Another Dimension Where It's Not Real People And Not Real Emotions. So, I Grew Up Listening To Beatles Records On My Floor. That's How I Learned How To Play Guitar. If It Weren't For Them, I Wouldn't Be A Musician.

My First Instrument Was Actually The Trombone, But That Didn't Last Long. Soon I Was Playing Guitar In Bands From The Time I Was 11 Or 12.
