Strange reference, but Travis Barker is a dude that I relate to in a big way. Not because of the tatts, but just because of his attitude towards music and making things work. I wish I was half as collaborative as him.
I think it was on Joe Rogan, where he explained how he was getting off drugs and starting to make life different. There might have been other interviews that I had watched, but it was just about his general work ethic. He really keeps on going with drums and makes as much as he can, because if he wasn’t, then he would be in a homeless bum somewhere.
I think I relate to that the most, because if I wasn’t me now, I’d probably not be alive. There’s a lot that I attribute to God being there at times when I needed help. And in that sense, I do what I do now because of all the things that I had done then, trusting in who God claims to be, and presents himself to me as in the years past.
Thus, I linked a YouTube video of a heavily tattooed drummer covering a very controversial musician, in reference to my life and work ethic. The irony and the way life turns out indeed.
