“ My point is this: the end of the story isn’t always the most important. It might not even be part of the story at all, depending on how you choose to tell it. I’m sick of walking around with friends talking about ends — the ends of relationships, friendships, feelings, and hope. We all know how things end, and that’s badly. But just because it came last, it need not overshadow everything else. If you lived it, it’s all part of the story of your life — or in this case, the story of your band — and it can be added up and remembered in many different ways. We could trade in all our hopeful beginnings and buy a yacht and a summer home. We could trade in all our bitter ends for a warm bottle of beer. Either way, I’m thankful that most of us are still here. ”
