Royal Canadian Air Farce, and I was in three sketches there. And they wrote some really great stuff for me.
If it's great stuff, the people who consume it are nourished. It's a positive force.

I always tell the fans, 'Screw it! Like what you like. Listen to what you want.' Insisting that one type of music is better than the next is snobbery, and I have no time for that. Check out all the music that's out there. There's great stuff you're probably missing.
