I'll have to highlight this question since we're always talking about it:
Moderator] cashiosux: Is it money or love of music that keeps you going at this time?
[JYYoung] It's really the joy of being on stage that is my highest priority. The fact that we might be economically rewarded in a nice way is really a secondary thing for me. Seeing the smiles on peoples faces. I used to feel the job of being a legend in rock was very self-serving and had no value to society. I think the opposite now. People have struggles in just getting by day-to-day. By playing live concerts, we provide a moment in time where people can come in, forget all their troubles and celebrate the good parts of human existence. If you focus on the negative all the time, you start believing it. We think there is great hope in human existence and great joy. That's kind of my purpose - mass psychotherapy.
