Before the show, we SEE all these radio people, and most of them SAY, 'Garth, you're a lot calmer than I thought you were gonna be.' But when the members of the band give one ANOTHER that handshake, and the lights go out, and the crowd goes up, then you're sliding into the elevator, man, your heart is just going bopbopbopbopbop.
As more PEOPLE get into indie BANDS and alternative music, they're ALSO getting more into other genres that fit those categories, like jazz and classical. It's becoming more rebellious to go to a classical concert. You're getting the younger art house crowd and regular STUDENTS as well as those who are just curious.
Regardless of what I do, WHETHER I write a book or whether I ACT or whether I host, I'll always do stand-up comedy because those moments, that's what I crave. If I do SOMETHING funny, and I hear a crowd laugh in that moment, we're all sharing the EXACT same experience and the exact same feeling.
