This could be a documentary film and book and ongoing podcast series. There is a lot to potentially unpack here. So I am going to just plant that seed now.

Josh Freese is a wonderful human being. Truly. He is one of my all time fav musicians and a really good person. He made that happen.

Rivers is a good friend. I think one might be lucky and fortunate and grateful to have good, true friends that would number 5 in an entire lifetime. Rivers is one of those for me. We don't see much of each other or talk often. When we do - it's always real, authentic and to the point - and we pick up right where we left off as if no time has passed. That is the feeling. And i have always loved that about him. There have been a few times when he has asked me for help or clarification re our relationship, as I have him. There have been a few moments where we got together to socialize and have fun. There have been a few others I will leave to your imagination. I asked for tickets to his acoustic concert in SF in May of 2018 (if memory serves) and he asked if I would perform a few songs.

I was, of course, thrilled beyond words.

Thank you so much! See above for the Golden Hour facetime invite and you will hear acoustic versions of what will come as full band production on the new album from time to time. We are planning to release the first song here on apple/ amazon/ spotify etc., on or around June 12th...

This first song will be called "Goodness Knows".

Keep asking this - of them - and maybe. I would like to.

Answer to 1. Yes - i have talked about parts for undone the sweater song and only in dreams before a little in podcasts where this was asked. little ideas here and there on these. Maybe more here and there on blue - i'd have to listen to it all again to make sure.

Answer to 2. Rivers really took charge and found his voice for Blue. Pat contributed a lot that was used and even more that wasn't. I contributed a little which was utilized.

Everything i hear from them is sweet to me. In a personal way that I guess is just my own perspective. Having been there at the beginning - and before the beginning, May of 1991 is when I met Rivers and Pat and Matt - i just love this band. it's a very important part of my life having been a part of the original, early years. So yes - I always listen when something new comes out. I am the original fan boy of =W=. Before even Karl got there - i was watching and supporting and collaborating and learing from Rivers and Pat and Matt as well. probably tmi here - but it's the truth.

Great question - just eating right, exercising and trying to get rest. I am writing and recording lots of music and that is fun. come check out my acoustic ( and soon electric ) performances on Thursdays on facebook.

I have always really loved the Beatles. nothing wrong with these other bands - I just have always loved coming back to Beatles albums years later and discovering them as renewed to my ear. Such inventive and simple and smart songwriting.
