Bonnie Raitt

I had a double life early on. I have to be careful now that I don't And let that schism happen. And I remember the metaphor of the Wizard of Oz being found out to be just a regular man. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. The best movie ever. The best. I totally related to that because I have been given this mantle of so much power and responsibility.

And I look so badass to everybody, but I'm really not as... Like that. And in my private life, I have to really wrestle who that is in the ground and see, don't spend too much time just stoking the BR machinery. Otherwise, you lose who you are when you're just a smaller case.

Or have somebody find that for you. Thank you for telling me about that, because I immediately get her vulnerability in her voice for all the strength that she had. That's why so many people relate to her. That's right. There is a real vulnerability. Oh, my gosh. And to be put through what she was put through as a child, uppers and downers and dance for this. Right, exactly.

Oh, no. Here you go. Here's where the rubber hits the road. I am frustrated not being on tour. There's nothing like what happens on stage. Nothing like it. I mean, I make records so I can tour. My dad loved it till the day he stopped performing at 86 years old, and he only mostly stopped because his audience was

So when I'm home, I have a satisfying, beautiful life here. I live where I want to live. I got a small circle of chosen family, friends. And I'm healthy and I'm lucky. But I really miss what happens playing with other people on the road. I mean, playing by myself is not as satisfying. But do you play every day? No, I only play when I'm getting ready to tour.

No.

No.

No, I'm too busy managing the big career of this woman who, where's my name? So the business of being Bonnie Raitt is taking up a lot of my time, and I'm glad to do it and answer as diplomatically and kindly when I can't do a benefit or I can't sing on someone's record. Yeah. Or I can't write a blurb.

And when I hear a song that I really love and I want to do it live, then I pick up the guitar and learn it.

But I mean, I'm not one of those... When I was a teenager, I just played all the time. Right. But I don't do that so much anymore. But now I'm playing for fun and I got to get my calluses going again. I did my vocal warmup today and I'm singing on a session after we dock on this podcast. I'm singing on someone's record. So I'm getting that fire is going again and my fingers are going, where is it?
