I went to night school and summer school, I made that whole year up and I actually graduated on time. Also, I got a part-time job at the radio station.
The decision to write full time was made when I was twenty-eight years old and had just had two small plays accepted for BBC Radio.
When people come to the show they think we are a legendary band because they hear us on Classic Rock radio all the time. It is psychological. That's okay - I'm down with that.
When I was in high school, The Dave Matthews Band was a local band, and that was the first time I was starting to connect with a live band that was something that wasn't on the radio or TV.
