I hate money, I want nothing to do with it. Unfortunately those who have it or access to it are typically open to more freedom (i am aware that philosophical minds could debate this somewhat ignorant comment over and over again). I love people, I love my friends, I love my boys (my brethren in life and music) and spending time, adventure with them. This was the first show with our current band line-up (very positive and exciting despite the not so awesome turn-out due to 8-12 inches of snow). On the road is where I am me, Cory, the most. I feel more, I am more aware, I am challenged... this was a rough one... an expensive one... but my resolve to make music with others and bring it to others in only strengthened.
times up, let's do this!
