The real metric of success isn't the size of your bank account. It's the number of lives in whom you might be able to make a positive difference.
I love the intimacy of venues like the House of Blues. When everyone is packed in and so close to you, it makes you play differently. It's so much more fun to play because there's so much more high energy in a place like that.
