Carnival - Audio Excerpt 1

The stage never ends. You suffer onstage; you suffer offstage in different ways. It's... uh, you know, when I walk off the stage, it's like... the show's not over for me. Everybody else is going home, talking about it. Going back to work or school, telling everybody what they saw. And for me, it's still going on. Because the stage is right here. It comes out from here, down to here, out to there. So, I mean, when I walk off thе stage, everything that happеns in my life comes back to the stage. And everything that happens onstage goes out into the street with me. And so on, you get on the bus...

I mean, it's like, I'm here in Charlotte. I'm working. But when I leave here and go back to Ann Arbor, I get out, I look the same way. I go back to the Y. And, you know, here I am. And then I go back to practice next Wednesday with the next band. I mean, it just goes on and on. And when I'm done with that... I mean, you just continuously keep the wheels turning.
