Iron men don't get bruises. Some people have remarked they don't like some of my chord choices. I say fine! but I'm not going to change them because I like them. Writing music for me is not a selfish act. I'm not writing because of personal satisfaction. I want to entertain people! I want to make them happy or sad or excited by my music. I've already taken a lot. I want to give back now. That's what makes me happy. If some folks don't like my stuff, well who cares? There's always another night and another crowd and new people to play to. And if you touch just one person out there you know that it's worth it. Hoarding music gives me no satisfaction at all. But as I do write to share to the world, neither do I compromise my style or philosophy for something the public will take an interest in. If I like myself, and I like my music, I think other people will like me & my music. After all, Marilyn Manson & Nine Inch Nails got famous too somehow, didn't they?
