I know, because that's what personally happened to me. You seem to be in a comfort zone with family, your art and charity work. Although I am not touring or playing 40,000 seat stadiums anymore, I have never been busier with my charities, schools and various other children's causes. As I grow older, life's blessings become clearer. The more God gives, the more thankful I try to be.
Thankfulness leads to contentment, and contentment is another word for happiness.
I think there is a sense of mutuality for both artistic phases of my life. My present work is very important to me, but there are still many people who appreciate my previous work. A lot of my records still stand up today. Albums, like children, all have something different to say and are equally valid. However, due to the way life goes, some grow bigger, some die, some are good and some are not quite so.
