- The thing about music is I can be with my friends and we can make music and theres some kind of bond that comes with just being in the room together . I get a lot just from the camaraderie. Sometimes when the guitars are set down, the discussions that come out of it are very satisfying . Everybody’s trying to write a hit. Everybody’s trying to write a “catchy” tune and the thing I’m most proud of with this band is that the music has driven us. My whole desire was to play live. And wherever I was making movies at in the world, I was playing music again. So our desire was to play live and I guess we are just singing to the choir here, because that’s what we do. How I have this connection with people the last 20 years is a mystery to me, but a lot of people have gotten their first kiss at a movie they saw that maybe I was in, so it’s been great for me to connect with audiences all over the world that have actually seen movies and the curiosity goes away after about the first minute of the song and then we get to what an event wants to be all about, us playing music, original music, for them. I’m not the best writer in our band, In fact if the other guys weren’t there, the songs wouldn’t be as good as they are. I try really hard, but one of the things I do, is that I decide what we play and I insist that the cream get to the top. It doesn’t matter if it’s my song or it doesn’t matter if somebody’s written two songs in a row, the cream will go to the top. We will write about our childhood and I think Mark Twain said it right, he said, “If you’ve lived your life correctly, you will never forget your childhood.” And then obviously the majority of our songs are about men and women and that juxtaposition, that thing why we can’t get along, and why we ultimately have to be together. So you know, we do bounce around quite a bit and if something strikes us, you’ll see we’ll write an historical song.
