When I Know Too Much I Get

I Have A Lot Of Friends Who Come From Alcoholic Families, And They Aren't Alcoholics, Because Someone Explained It To Them. When I Was In Washington Dc, They Really Talked About The Difference Statistically Between Families That Talk About Drug Addiction And Ones That Don't. The Kids That Can Say "i See Where This Is Going" Have A Much Better Chance Of Not Becoming Addicts, Because They Have Been Educated.

I Am Not A Preacher. I Don't Want To Stand On A Soapbox And Tell People, "don't Drink. Don't Use Drugs." With My Kids, I Say "don't Drink. Don't Do Drugs." But When They Turn 21, They Can Drink. I Hope They Never Use Drugs, But People Make Their Own Decisions. When They're Old Enough, They Are Going To Have The Chance To Make Their Own Decisions. I Just Hope I Have Given Them Enough Love And Support, And The Ability To Come And Talk To Me If They Need To.

There's A Pattern When Tours Start - A Pattern Of Infighting, Of Making Up, Of Breaking Up, Of Addiction. There's A Pattern Of Going To Jail. There's A Pattern Of Passion For Music.

I Just Think If I Can Go From Being A Homeless Kid With A Dream Of Being In The Biggest Band In The World And Making That Happen, I Can Do A Lot Of Other Cool Stuff, Too.

Formats Are Going To Change Because This Is What The People Want. It's Not What The Labels Want.
