It was kind of devastating. Now when you don't have radio, you don't have shows. And when you don't have shows, you don't have money. In December of '97 my house was on the market, my things were up for sale. We were ready to go under.

Picture having a relationship with thousands of people who you love who just don't come around any more. And though it's easy to say, well, at least you had something, that doesn't make it any easier to go through than, say, a divorce. But you learn to find it within yourself, make yourself strong. I wrote in my liner notes I wish I didn't know some of the things I did, but they do make me strong. Two Miatas, a great house.
