I've always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence.
My brother and I were meditating before we were 6 years old, having to stare at the wall and chant.
I grew up in a commune where no one considered me female, particularly.
I felt like it was a great secret when I found out that I could be in my 30s.
I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.
Nirvana was pop. You can have distorted guitars and people say it's alternative, but you can't break out of pop music's constructs and still get extensive radio play and media coverage.
That's my dream job, to be able to mail songs out to people who want to hear them. Paste my face on them and not travel all over the world trying to sell them.
I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference.
