“A lot of people get famous and then don’t want to be famous
You signed up for this you gotta pay for it. A lot of people
Just don’t know what the price is when they step up to the
Plate. The wear and tear is not physical. The wear and tear
Is a mental thing. You really just let go of a lot of relationships
That require presence and constant nurturing. You
Say goodbye to people, people get sick and die when you’re
Gone, and a lot of things just go by the way side. Then
There’s all the strife, and power, and money, and control.”
- Ross Valory
They'll never truly know but
Thank you to all who try to understand
Nothing was the same
This album is dedicated to the memory of Evelyn Sher and Bruce Smith
