It's Tough To Go To Sleep At

Neil Young Is My Hero, And Such A Great Example. You Know What That Guy Has Been Doing For The Past 40 Years? Making Music. That's What That Guy Does. Sometimes You Pay Attention, Sometimes You Don't. Sometimes He Hands It To You, Sometimes He Keeps It To Himself. He's A Good Man With A Beautiful Family And Wonderful Life.

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.

You Know, Nirvana Used To Start Rehearsals With The Three Of Us Just Jamming. For, Like, A Half An Hour, Just Noise And Freeform Crap - And Usually It Was Crap. But Sometimes Things Would Come From It, And Some Songs On Nevermind Came From That, And 'heart Shaped Box' And Stuff On 'in Utero' Just Happened That Way.

I Was At A New Year's Eve Party, And Someone Asked Me How Was My Year, And I Said, 'i Honestly Think 2011 Was The Best Year Of My Entire Life,' And I Actually Meant It.

I Love Black Sabbath. They Made An Amazing Contribution To Music Today. Almost Every Band That Made It Big In The Nineties Owed A Debt To Them.
