KCM: That’s a smart approach to the lesser of two evils, and quite a few people have lost their fortunes and families because of drugs. JB: Exactly, and we wanted to continue doing this. In music there is no age limit, you can do it until you’re like 70, I mean look at Lemmy. You have to be in shape for that. KCM: Unless you’re out on stage and your kids are pushing you out… JB: In a wheelchair…(Laughing). KCM: What would you say is the worst thing about your job? JB: I love to tour but the family is very hard to be away from and we fly them out to some shows when we play in Europe. KCM: It has to be hard especially when you have kids and I know it sounds “un-rock star” like but I think it’s normal once you have kids. JB: Maybe it’s like that now but back in the 70’s and 80’s there were a lot of drugs and maybe they didn’t care as much about their families. KCM: It’s true I think they didn’t because lots of guys would have girlfriends on tour while they were married or even separate families. JB: I would never cheat on my wife because I wouldn’t want her to cheat on me. KCM: I agree with you on that. I also believe that everyone has the right to privacy, even rock stars as some people might disagree with this statement. JB: I always tend to take a lot of time for the fans because without them we wouldn’t be here. When you have this type of a job you’re out in the public and you have to smile, but sometimes I don’t feel like smiling.
KCM: If you ever come to L.A. then maybe you’ll have a chance to see how crazy the paparazzi gets with the celebrities out there. JB: We played in L.A. once at the Troubadour back in 2004 and we also played in New York City at CBGB’s. KCM: Wow all the legendary places that have closed. JB: I know, but it was cool to play those places before they closed. KCM: What’s the biggest crowd that you ever played to and where? JB: Yeah we played to 200,000 people in Poland at the Woodstock Festival. I remember going out on stage and saying to myself “Wow, what’s happening?” There were people everywhere. KCM: Did you get nervous?
