I always knew I'd be in music in some sort of capacity. I didn't know if I'd be successful at it, but I knew I'd be doing something in it. Maybe get a job in a record store. Maybe even play in a band. I never got into this to be a star.
The dream factory of that time was much simpler. As media outlets grew, everything became so complicated.
When I hear somebody say 'Life is hard', I am always tempted to ask 'Compared to what?'
