Anecdote of the best or worst moment on tour: I’ll split the difference with a surreal one—dining on a grilled chicken caesar salad and whiskey neat at a forcefully middlebrow Ottawa, Canada, strip club, which was the best place the promoters could think to take me for the pre-show meal.
Charity worth giving to: New York Firefighters’ Widows’ and Children’s fund
Five words that sound great: Limn, Lacunae, Glavine, Smoltz, Maddux
