On expensive guitars, listening to new music, Judaism, and staying sober
What is the best piece of advice anyone has given you?
Early on, we were touring with the Band. It was the Arkansas Traveler tour with Michelle Shocked and Uncle Tupelo. I was rehearsing, and Rick Danko stepped up onstage behind me, out of the blue, and said, "You sound desperate. You should always sound desperate. Don't lose that." It's a weird way of saying something that I totally agree with. I think what he really meant is people have to hear that you care that you're desperate to communicate, desperate to connect. That's why we sing.
