Good for him. I remember meeting him a long time ago, when I worked security at a pretty large venue. Compared to a lot of the other artists I met, I recall him as pretty likeable. I remember that he even helped his band load their equipment, which surprised me.
Nice to hear there are a few ‘normal’ guys left in entertainment. His expression of thought was clear and concise. Refreshing.
My neighbor here in Hollywood still does stage management stuff for 3 of the live venues on the Strip (non union). He has always told me the small bands who travel in a bus are the friendliest to chat with because they can associate with working stiffs like him. The true a-holes are the “popular” bands with roadies, says he..
He went on to say that the push for antigun laws that would come in wake of the Aurora massacre wouldn’t change any legislation in the U.S. because the country was “based on guns.” He also dropped a KRS-One lyric from the Sound of Da Police album, saying: “You’ll never have justice on stolen land.”
