You know, you want the wild inspiration, then you want someone that knows what they're doing.

And that...

That thing just goes.

I mean, you got Gigi Allen and David Allen Coe.

You got those people that just have so much wildness, you know?

And then you have the people that are just plain skilled.

You know, like Eddie Van Halen and...

What's the other?

The Steve... Steve Vai.

Steve Vai, who just had this incredible skill.

And both sides of that will hold your attention.

But when you really get to someone that has both of those, which I think is Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Stravinsky, the same ones I named,

Miles Davis is, you know, perhaps the greatest example, you know, inventing five kinds of music.

You know what I mean?

He just has that everything.

And that's what we're looking for.

And time on stage...

will push you in the skill area.

And then it is inspiration that you need to bring to get that craziness in there.

Yeah, and it's also amazing, um... when people are in incredibly stressful situations... Time, you know, which doesn't exist.
