Bill I have to tell you, I used to view your music in a meme way when I was less mature and it was all only for laughs. But now I appreciate your immense talent and imaginative approach to music. I'm wondering if you ever had a similar change of mind about your own music and process? Didyl you have an "a-ha" moment where you started taking it more seriously or were you always pretty serious about your music?
when i started i took it much much more seriously, for many many years, until one day i realized that i was doomed for failure if i didn't find ways to make it a little more fun and interesting, especially for non-'musicians.' ironically people are always tempted to tell you it's 'non-serious' when in reality they would be bored by it and never would have found out about it if it was 'more-serious'
