In an old interview, I think it was around the time that Hold Your Fire came out, Geddy Lee said that each album represented a snapshot of where the band was at that phase in their life. Listening back to the album was a kind of time machine.
I wanted to have that kind of project-based life too. Working hard to create something, creating it, taking a break, doing it again. Then, looking back proudly on a body of work.
But it turned out that I wasn’t creative, and each day was just a discrete thing that strung together into a longer thing that happened. Many projects were planned. None were realized. And then the project just became sitting on the couch typing into my phone pushing words into a blog that no one reads.
