People imagine that I just love writing, that it gives me great joy. It would be more complicated.” She’s probably right about that. It wouldn’t be as pure if you were a musician. The fact that you’re a fan allows you to enjoy music in a way that you wouldn’t. Q: How do you think your life would have been different if you could have lived your dream of being in a rock band? Do you think you would have liked your life more?Ī: Dana Kurtz says at the end of the book, “Look, man. … It’s taken me this long, though, for me to get over the fact – or try to get over the fact – that I could never make music, which is, to me, the dream. That was clearly symptomatic of my Drooling Fanaticism. If I look back now, I would spend hours waiting for the DJ to play “Undercover Angel.” … When the DJ finally played that song, it was like God kissing you on the mouth. That’s something in and of itself that should be talked about and honored. We’re going to be people who are able to feel the feelings that music is there to allow us to feel. It took me until I was 42 to I’m not going to be a rock star, and 99.9 percent of us are not going to be rock stars. … So, in a sense, identifying yourself as a Drooling Fanatic is kind of like admitting that you’re a loser who can’t make it in music.
Q: At what point in your life did you realize that you were a Drooling Fanatic?Ī: Here’s the thing: I think everyone on Earth would just love to be a musician.
