I went from having three little jobs that I strung together to being on the road full-time having some savings that my managers told me to spend.

What happened on As Cool As I Am was, you know how in the `90s, the personal is political, the political is personal? That was a really big thing. Choices you made about how you recorded and what instruments you used and how much real versus how much synthetic. Those were choices that were seen as very political at the time.

For my 50th birthday I just want to make it all make sense [being exactly half introvert], and then a couple of weeks later do the blow-out with all my friends.
