My dad was a very complicated, amazing person.

He was an incredible drummer.

And music was my whole...

and my mom is an incredible singer and we grew up playing so much music and I learned all about music and I've been playing drums since I was a baby and it's what I love to do.

And I took all those things from him

also took his like work ethic like he he was a he was a tour manager he was a drummer he ran he was a very disciplined guy and i i i have so much of that and i apply that to whatever i i can um but then the the flip side of that was you know he was on these big tours and you know he'd get off these tours

and the lights would be off and it'd be quiet for months on end.

And he came from an extremely, um, hostile, um, upbringing and he didn't have any tools to cope with it.

Not like we do in our time.

And, um, so yeah, there's a lot of, a lot of drinking and,

and all that's under that umbrella and and um and I you know I drank a lot with him and um you know just a lot of drinking and smoking with dad and so I I totally like grew up with an interesting with a skewed perspective on all that and um and you know if I wasn't careful I would let that run my my life especially when you start doing that when you're young

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

But you're like a 12-year-old kid.

So that's where it gets tricky.

Yeah, totally.

I wish I spent more time with him.

This is what it is though.

We didn't talk for a long periods of time just because whatever life, but I got to be with him for the important times.

you have like an idea of your parent maybe it's like girls and their mothers or boys and their fathers but you you they're like superheroes and then you get to the age where you're like oh if that's superman we're we're you know what i mean like oh no and that happened that switch happened in the midst of all that chaos and and um and
