And now that I am lucky enough through a combination of luck and perseverance and hard work, I'm lucky enough to make my living this way. Like I said, I'm not a doctor. I'm not curing cancer or whatever. But I can use these tools at my disposal to try and improve things. And I find fulfillment and purpose in that. And sometimes I still question myself or I beat up on myself.

I'm like, you're not really doing anything. You're just a stupid heavy metal singer. That's all you're doing with your life. And it feels meaningless. But then... every now and then I will meet a fan who will tell me your music saved me, man. I was going to kill myself, but this song you wrote kept me going. And I'm like, yes, I did it. I made a difference.

And I remember how music made me feel when it, when I, as we talked at the beginning of this conversation, how I felt so different and outside and alone. And then I first heard this music, this punk rock music, this X feels, I'm like, These people understand. Finally, someone understands.

And when I get told this by these fans, and I've been told so many times how our music or a book I wrote or even my photography has truly helped people get through difficult times, it is by far the most rewarding part of what I do. It's nice to make a living, it is true. But having someone tell you that you made a real impact in your life

in their life it's supremely gratifying to me and it provides me what i feel like a sense of purpose and i think we're talking about how people feel lost and as if they don't matter not everybody is supposed to be an artist.

And I have found that trying, at least trying to structure my life around beyond paying the basic bills, around allowing enough room for me to be of service to other people in other ways has provided me with fulfillment and a sense of purpose that chasing money or success or notoriety has never provided, ever.

They have to look and look around their own neighborhood and see, what can I do to make this place better? Who can I help? Even if just by walking over and talking to someone. Like old people, man. Old people are lonely. If you are able to go and go to an old person's home and volunteer and talk to old people...
