I just got a call one day from Ringo asking me if I wanted to go out on the tour. It was as simple as that. He was putting together this band and he heard of me in the context of doing this and he gave me a call. I jumped at the chance.
And when I get bored, it's like the worst parts of me come out. I really veer to self-destructive tendencies quickly.
I'm from Wisconsin so I always feel a little nauseous about begging and trying to trick people into liking me.
