I always tell my kids, Find something that you love and within that you'll find some job that you can do and you'll always be happy. You'll go to a job that you want to go to.

I wouldn't want to get stuck being an oldie-goldie group, but I don't mind. I think all the trouble you go through these days to go to one of these concerts, I think I owe them a bit of what they came to hear.
