“We were all talking about different addiction stories from our lives,” Einhorn recently recalled to , “and I said to Peter, ‘I’ve got this idea that I’ve been kicking around. I don’t have a plan for it yet, but I wonder, would you feel comfortable doing an as-told-to with me about your experience as a sober musician?’ He said, ‘Yeah man, I’d fucking love to do that. I wish I’d had something like that.”, published May 18th by the Creative Independent, the editorial arm of Kickstarter.
Another key aim was to further dispel “this ridiculous myth of the tortured genius.” He continues: “I get people coming in with two weeks sober saying, ‘Elia, I think my fucking career is over. I’m never going to be able to write. I don’t know how I’m going to tour if I’m not drinking and using.’ And I kept telling each one of them the same things, and finally, the wisdom that sober musicians share is now codified in.
“I had to have a place where I could be safe and feel like I wasn’t forced to be around it,” Einhorn says. “And I want to add: I still had a ton of fun. There were times when I was the last person up partying, stone-cold sober, having a fucking great time, because being sober and partying are not mutually exclusive. It’s just redefining the term ‘partying’.
JasonIsbell 'Been AF for two months, not a long time but sure feels like it some days. JasonIsbell, you're a major motivation helping to finally tip that scale after 50 years. Thank you! for all your songs, but especially those about your own struggle. I just couldn't ignore or deny them.
Thanks.
