We didn't hit when we had to. They got the big hit, and we didn't.

I remember one year we were out the first week of April. Then we had a big snow storm in the middle of the month and we were right back inside.

We've never been out this early. We're still doing the same stuff we would indoors, the arms are just not ready. I'm trying to rein in the horse, they are so excited about being out.

It got to the point where we doing so much touring and playing, and the money really wasn't coming in. All of a sudden, I'm 30 years old, and I was like holy shit, I've got a wife now, and I've got a kid coming. When we started this band, we weren't even thinking about money, and now all of a sudden everything was money, money, money. I'd hate to have to go into the studio to write a record just so I can feed my family. That would be the biggest sellout.

It's gotten to the point where American runners only show up to American-only prize money races. It's not really complicated. They won't show up unless you pay them, or it's an American-only prize money race.
