Just because you listen to The National, Spotify might tell you that you want to listen to The Lumineers' music. Well, maybe you don't.

Honestly, Flav is not much of a video game player these days. BUT, I used to spend hours on Time Crisis. I beat all levels, man.

It was really important for me to understand that I needed to provide for myself, and I needed to become a provider for my own family, too.

Do you know how many concerts I've done in my whole life, in more than 35 years of performing? Sixty-four.

Every life is precious.
