Be yourself

 

Hi Honey!  So what is it you're afraid of again?  I'm afraid of God.  Anyway, I had a great dinner tonight and I'm absolutely stuffed.  I was going to play the bass, but this movie came up and I think I'll watch it.  I don't watch YouTube as much as I used to because of the damned ads.  It's much easier to watch my own TV channel while playing bass.  I'll probably dump this movie when the ads kick in so it better be good, YouTube.

I envy your rockin' life, Grace Bowers.  But also I don't.  Travel is for the young, and touring is exhausting.  It's hard to maintain that smile as your hair falls increasingly flat.  So pay attention to your hair: how it looks is a gauge of how exhausted you are.  Don't you pity those poor bands that spend the whole year touring and gigging at dives?  I've done my time doing that shit, now I like being in one place all the time, watching the same sunset as I walk my last walk.  But right now it's Ramadan, so I use the motorcycle.

Don't you agree that interviewers have been nice to you so far?  They're going to get meaner, so be ready for that.  Just be yourself.  Oh, and be patient.
