twenty-seven years and one million words
I walked about 1.5km to the bank to withdraw some cash for a fund-raising draw we're doing at work. When I got back to the office after having eaten I realized that I hadn't gotten the cash. Sleep walking!
For a long time I was very bitter that the people who controlled the means of anybody ever hearing my songs were never gonna play them. They only favored music that I specifically and particularly hated, and I wanted them dead. Suddenly, there was another avenue. I started hearing my stuff coming out of bars and then it started to happen little by little — a movie song here or a TV ad there.
