Nobody Cares Who You Are: Book III: The Panic Years, Part 1
Nobody cares who you are; it was a sentiment I became all too familiar with as I was growing up. It’s what the city of Detroit was all about. But by the time I met the boys of Widespread Panic in October of 1987, I didn’t give a damn that nobody cared who I was. By then, I had found the music, and a group of boys who were about to show me just how powerful that music could be. From that point forward, the only thing I cared about was living, breathing, and sleeping with the sound. And the boys of Widespread Panic showed me exactly how to do that.

Nobody Cares Who You Are: Book IV: The Panic Years, Part II
These dreams we all have, they can be relentless, hounding us daily to acknowledge them and put them into motion. Sometimes, they never leave us alone—pestering, determined, and tenacious—until we finally answer their call and fulfill our destinies. And that is exactly what happened to me in October of 1992—despite the fact that Widespread Panic was riding as high as they ever had. I knew that the boys were now set; I knew that they were true rock and rollers living the dream. I loved them, I respected them, I admired them and was proud of them, but in the end, it was still THEIR dream, and theirs alone. And now, in the fall of 1992, it was time to find my own dream, utilizing the boys of Widespread Panic as a launchpad to propel me into the Great Beyond and all of her infinite secrets, the only place I was meant to be.
