“I foresee an end to the usage of that name. I don’t know that it’s doing for me what it used to, in the sense that Jack’s sort of really represented a freedom from something. And a really free approach to creating things that now is certainly wrapped up in a whole lot of turmoil and tumult in a very difficult time in my life. And to acknowledge that, I certainly think at some point I’m going to have to find a way to shake that loose. And I think to some extent that might mean retiring the name.”
As much as this bums me out, there is another part of me that is understanding. Everything in Transit meant so much to me when it came out, and still does. However, it holds so many memories that make that album hurt a little to listen to. Things were so different.
