Yeah, totally.

Yeah.

And no...

It's not just recognition.

And it's not celebratory.

It's just like, look, man, this doesn't make the man, right?

My material things don't make me who I am.

It's who I am, how I feel, what I've learned.

I get it.

Pastis doesn't grow on trees.

You know what I mean?

But you know what's fucked up about that, though?

Like when we were kids, and I get it.

Like I said, I made the choice in my life.

Mom and dad, we weren't, you know, we were middle class people.

But I made the choice.

when i said i'm not going to university i'm going to be in a band my dad that was like the last dollar i ever saw not even like hey you know what i mean and but i made that choice that choice wasn't made for me right you know what i mean and within two years i'm on the cover of rolling stone magazine and we're fucking around and you know what i mean like selling millions of records

I get that, you know what I mean?

It's not lost on me, but it gets back to where we started talking about there will always be a part of me

that is making music because it's really maybe the only place where I'm truly free.
