What are things like now for Sugar Ray?
I feel like we’re REO Speedwagon and Guns N’ Roses is about to release Appetite For Destruction. Music is cyclical, and it’s starting to really change its face. You notice it as a fan, but when you’re involved as a musician and you’re making a living off it, you really can see the writing on the wall. You have to go to phase two in your life: How do you go out to pasture, still be a relevant recording artist and still be able to tour? That’s the phase we’re at right now. We were kind of holding out for the brass ring with MTV and all that, but, age and evolution and all that, it’s certainly time — the cycle of music changes and reinvents itself every six, seven years. We were hanging on about two records longer than ever we deserved to, but the fans have just been so great to us. We’re lucky, and we still have a record deal. You have a greatest hits record coming out with Sugar Ray. Is there a new album in the future? I think a new record is pretty ambitious. Part of the deal with me
