The Good Thing About Playing The Guitar:

Being A Rock Musician Is Already Like Ego-tripping Hardcore. You're Self-consumed, And You're Always Thinking. It's Really Easy To Say, "i'm Going To Write A Song About This Situation, And When I'm Done, Everyone Will Care." To Everybody Else, That's Ego-tripping.

There Are Times When I Want To Be Plainspoken About My Feelings In A Song. But There Are Other Times When It's Really Good To Try And Get My Head Around Different Kinds Of Song Structures, Or Maybe I Might Get Turned On By Trying To Write A Song That Would Fit In This One Scene In A Movie. And By The End Of All This, You Just End Up With A Bunch Of Different Ideas. And Songs Are Really Just Ideas.

Forever Only Takes Its Toll On Some

To Conceive Music, To Execute It In Front Of Others, To Make It So Others Can Do It...it Can Be Pretty Humbling, And Kind Of Scary. So Yeah, I Don't Really Feel In Competition With Anybody. Not Because I Feel Elitist, But Because I Have Enough Self-competition. I'm Always Struggling.

That's Why I Played Music; My Social Skills Were Limited. I Think A Lot Of People That Experience That Pick Up Guitars, Because They Can't Communicate Otherwise.
