Being in a band is like being in a relationship. When you split up, you feel too empty and start looking for another band, but none of the bands that might want you to join seem good enough, because you just compare them all to your last band. And you can’t go to shows anymore, because seeing other bands performing makes you feel bad.

Some of them may be more trouble than they are worth, but then you eventually find one that makes you think “thank the gods I waited for this band to come along.”

My boyfriend tells me I should find people to play music with just for fun, but that sounds too much like random dating, which I never did.
