Just a quick backstage reminder of the insane world we live in. I wasn’t nervous until I saw this. So fucking sad.

Read your book and immediately forced myself to write/play. I hadn’t picked up my guitar since I got sober many many years ago. Very proud of the songs that came out...your book gave me the courage to call myself (very quietly) a songwriter...again, thanks friend!

Low energy chit-chats are also ok. Just… carry on Captain.
