You know, I had these, like, a great support network.

But it's, I always, you know, I say this and I feel, I apologize on behalf of all bass players.

I'm like, bass is easy.

But I'm like, and I, you know, Geddy Lee, all these bass players that I've met, and I always say that.

And they're like, well, it's not really true because you have to kind of, like, embody it.

So I guess whether it's the Pisces, you know, emotional...

It was easy for me to play.

Okay.

But it's also that you, like, feel it.

Maybe it's different for women.

Maybe women, you know, being like the glue and the maternal figure.

I always say that the bass is the mother.

When I won the Gibson Award, you know, Best Bass Player in 99 with Hole, I said, I had to write my speech on the way, and I said, you know, oh, to the mother of all instruments, that the bass is the instrument that is unnoticed, but no one can live without.

So it's a feminine force in there.

Old school days.

What does that mean?

We don't know.

So it's a different interest.

What does that mean?

I want science, like neurological people to explain what that is or spiritual metaphysical.
