If you're lucky enough to get old, I think you should celebrate it.
I played djembe, percussion, keyboards and I sang.
Every few years I'll party way too much to remind myself what an idiot I am.
Punk rock and skateboarding took the 'school' out of living your life, and I related to learning as I went, doing a lot of different things that I liked, when I liked. Consequently, I'm mediocre at all of the above, but still stoked on being a lifetime student of music, skating, painting, writing, etc.
I have to go someplace where I can soak myself in a creative atmosphere.
Right after 'Backspacer,' my best friend got killed tragically. Something happened to me then where I got super motivated. I had a shelf of all this unfinished music. . . So I just went to work and made a conscious decision that I was going to finish a bunch of stuff. Life's short.
Make movies. Don't make videos. Videos are evil.
Blood and death. That moves me.
Back in 1987 when they drafted me. The Indians were the only team interested in taking a chance on Albert Belle, and I made the most of it. Hopefully, they got as much from me as I got from them.
I have a private plane. But I fly commercial when I go to environmental conferences.
You know what I'm intrigued by? Like, space and wormholes and Stephen Hawking's theories and Richard Dawkins's theories. That's what I care about.
