    At what point did being a rockstar become routine? Friday, March 01, 2002 2:18 AM (permalink)
    When you were first starting out in the business, back in the WDADU/early Images period, I'm sure you guys were probably grinning in disbelief like kids that all your hard work was finally paying off and all your dreams were starting to become reality.

    At what point did you wake up and see your job as a daily routine and real business? When did you and JP stop looking at eachother smiling at every new breka like kids in a candy store?

    Or HAVE you?

      Hi Brooks,
      Hmmmm...not sure how to answer this one...

      Well, it wasn't until well after Images came out that we felt that things were beginning to pay off...up until that point were alot of false starts, mistakes and disappointments.

      With that 1st taste of success, came the immense pressures and resposibilities that come along with this business when you do it for a living.

      Although we have been in a cycle of write/record/tour for about 10 years now, it still offers many new and exciting rewards and surprises along the way and it's never boring!

      Sometimes you do take some of it for granted and stop smiling at each other with childlike excitement at the daily events, but usually at the end of the night when I'm lying in my bunk on the tourbus, I do have a smile on my face!
