Well, rehearsals are hard. It's also hard when someone is too close to you. They're there with you every day. Like... This is true with comedy as well. Like if someone sees your act too many times, like if someone's traveling with you, like if my wife went to see my shows all the time, there's parts of it she'd be like, oh, don't do that. Oh, don't do this.

Like that's not – like you get too close to it. Like she's too close to you. But to see it with fresh eyes, like to see it in front of that audience, the joy that they have when the music starts playing – when some of the songs that they love, it's amazing. Like, you could feel it in the show. It's like the pure joy. Because the people that came to see it were hardcore fans.

Well, what you were doing, and I think what you're saying that you're attracted to is something that's not contrived, something that's pure. It could be messy, it could be, you know, Patti Smith, elbowing people, or you running through the crowds. It's real. And there's so much in this world that's not real. There's so much that's manufactured.

There's so much that's produced and run through a focus group. And there's so much that doesn't resonate. Like you don't feel it as a piece of art. You don't feel it as like a real person pouring out their emotions and their soul. But great music, you feel. It gets into you. It gets into your cells. No one can figure out how it works or why it works or why this does and this doesn't.

Why does Johnny Cash have such a fucking cool voice? What is it? What is it? But there's something about real. That's just, it's like a vitamin. It's like going out in the sun when it's been raining, like, ah, like you soak it in. Yeah, it is, you know.

Huge. What's your- I used to have a dog named Johnny Cash. Does the dog bite? No, not anymore. He's dead. He didn't bite when he was alive. He was a nice dog. It's just I had a habit of naming my dogs after famous singers.
