No.

You're lucky.

Because you feel like, I can't breathe.

My chest hurts.

Yeah.

Well, I've been on stage and I remember having to plant my feet and just power through, you know, in front of 20,000 people.

And it was awful.

I don't know if it did.

I just remember it happening numerous times.

And then guess what happened?

So, but you know what that heart attack led to?

I just married Elaine Irwin, and we had two little boys, and I got to stay home.

Because I said, fuck it, I'm going to die.

I didn't know about heart disease.

I'm going to die, so I'm going to spend the last couple years of my life with my boys, who were little teeny guys, which I want to tell you a story about them and you.

And so I got to actually kind of not be in the music business, which pleased me.

How old were you when you had your heart attack?

42.

Oh, geez.

And so I got to stay home.
