For about seven years. I really like it there. There are a lot of great musicians. The scene is very open. A lot of stuff going on. People's ears are really open, they are not closed. A lot of scenes here, people just get tunnel vision and are into one thing. ↗

I remain just one thing, and one thing only, and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician. ↗
