Well, you'd have to subdivide even musicians into different categories too, because, you know, the thing that I appreciate about comedians is that, you know, you go to a restaurant with them and like all the observational humor of like, they'll notice everything. and make you laugh about it, which a really great songwriter does the same thing too.

And my favorite lyricists like Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, they, you know, Warren Zevon, they add comedy into their lyric. And like, so those types of people, I would liken to hanging out with a comedian. It's very different from like, say somebody that is an instrumental guitarist or something like that, that they're more focused on,

whether it's, like, a kinesthetic thing or, like, a physical thing or whatever it is, they're not quite doing the observational thing in the same way. So I just appreciate, like, my favorite thing to do is... Go out and laugh, especially because like I can tend to be pretty analytical and be in my head. And so anything that just kind of lets me be in my heart and just enjoy life.

So right after Leonard Cohen passed away, the comedy store threw me a birthday party. It was this crazy lineup. And like, it was like, I'd play a song with my band and, um, and then Jackson Brown sat in and like sung a song and then like Dave Chappelle came up and said some jokes. It was, it was like one of my favorite nights ever.
