I have an 11-year-old daughter and shes going to be going to school for a long time. And its expensive, so I have to work. Last year I did the Republican National Convention. When they first asked me to do it, I turned it down. And they offered another really good offer, which I turned it down. They came back with one more and I said no. It wasnt so much political but rather that I had just been away for two years and I wanted to go home. Id just made a bunch of money so I didnt feel the pressure. And then they came back with an insane final offer. And I thought, Well not only will this pay for several years of Josies school but I can hire six or seven of my friends, and give them a really good pay day too. So we went and played the Republican convention. We may not be Republicans, obviously, but it was really interesting. I got heavy flack from some people for doing it. If you remember, at that time, last August, a year ago, it wasnt so sure. It was kinda looking like Romney was making a good run for it. So I got some heavy flack for it. But Im a professional musician and this is what Ive always done. Ive been a professional musician since I was 11 years old. Its what I do: work.
