Just sitting around waiting for my life to begin, while it was all just slipping away.
Bruce Springsteen

The wonderful thing about rock music is even if you hate the other person, sometimes you need him more, you know. In other words if he's the guy that made that sound, he's the guy that made that sound, and without that guy making that sound, you don't have a band, you know.
