You've Got What It Takes to Write, Right?

I'm coming at this from someone who played music for a long time, but my composition sucked. And I think out of that, and then the fact that I really liked to read, you know, my mom started me reading really early and I really enjoyed that. So I love to focus on shortly after this coffee gig. You end up joining the band, the drive by truckers and you hit the road for a fairly intense life of touring. There was a whole lot of excitement because I was 21 years old and playing music for people.
