Can I tell you a secret?

I have a secret.  I've never told anyone this before.



Ready?



I want an amplifier so loud it lays waste to vast amounts of land.  I want one so loud that the front row doesn't step back it gets pushed back.  I want to see trees blown over.  Those annoying neighbors who always complained about the volume...not only are they deaf but they have no ears left.  I want to create my own scour basins and hurricanes.  This is what I want.  Who can provide it?

Making Music as I Get Older

There's a terrible bias that the young have against the old.  It's assumed that playing in bands and making music is just a phase that you'll grow out of when you "grow up".  If you are dedicated to your craft and it really isn't a "phase" but part of who you are, then your music should get better as your get older.  You gain more life experience to pull from.  You'll have heard more music.  There's no reason why the music you make at 40 isn't better than the music you make at 30 which should be better than the music you make at 20.   It should follow your life curve. 

I'm turning 30 this year and this is something I'm having to deal with.  I ask myself "you're 30...why are you still playing music?"  The answer...I don't think I cannot play music.  I went for 3 years without playing and I wasn't the same.  I didn't know who I was.  I played poker a lot.  I ate a lot.  I felt lost.  Then I picked it up and here I am.  Making some of the best music I've ever made.  When I'm turning 40 and still making awesome music I hope I can look back over the past decade of music and see how it's followed my life.  

Let the ringing in my ear never stop.
