My personal considerations, this is a very nice and long interview to Joey where he provides some very good hints for people who want to understand more about him and his own universe!
Three main topics - if I’d have to direct you to walk through what he says…
First, he doesn’t aim to be and act as a Celebrity, in fact he clearly identifies himself as a musician and songwriter. Maybe bad news for the rock-star type of followers, but I think it’s his very own intrinsic value, actually!
A very honest tale from his side, for all those who have an open heart to listen... And what I can testify directly, in everything he says and does, he is so very consistent that it would be hard for me to think differently!
Second, his going through the creative process when you even are forced to ‘kill your darlings’. You can hear the emphasis and his true participation in this discussion…
Last, but not least - you can probably feel and perceive yourself the lack of interest when he is called to respond to some ‘quick and easy’ questions at the end. Particularly if you compare his level of engagement with the previous topics… he gets involved again only when he is asked to answer about what happens if the guitar doesn’t arrive?
Take it away then, folks!
