kshandra, murphymom and kyburg
This goes right to the discussion we were having yesterday. Nifty.:)
Q: Why are you quitting the road?
A: It's not that I don't like performing, I just don't like leaving home. But it's not like I'm giving up and retiring. I'll probably still wind up at the Pantages or Universal Amphitheater now and again.
I just don't want to do these big tours where they keep me away from my life . . . 35 years of no life. [He laughs.] I've decided that I need my life back: to play with my dogs, go to the movies, visit with friends. I need that.
I've never been able to sell out arenas before. Neil Diamond has sold out arenas all of his life. I always felt that I do better in a small house. I communicate much deeper and much more easily. But I guess I'm to the point of once before I croak or something [imitates ticket buyer]: "Is he still alive? We'll see him before he croaks."
