I do 100 shows a year, but I do it in fits and starts, as opposed to going on a long run. ↗

Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin. ↗
