He's got a new book out that just came out called Surrender.
I saw your book, I mentioned that your book has come out and you've been on tour supporting it. You've done you did a date and now you're announcing that you're going to go on tour and do some more dates, which is so excellent. And so I read parts of your book all the way through and actually I heard that somebody told me that that's kind of how you want people to do it, kind of dip in and out.
Forty short stories. It works. I constructed it as 40 short stories as well as the sort of beginning, middle and end arc.
It's called Surrender. So did it feel like that? That's still a word I'm ganging up on. I haven't quite got to fully grasp or fathom the title of my own book.
And if you want to see the band in a rehearsal room or in the studio, or the sort of the struggles around it with each other and with the world around us, I'm going to write about it in a still cross section. Same as an activist, the same in other areas of my life, my family life. I just decided to go there. And then I said, I'll afterwards decide if I publish it.
