My life has gotten better as well. And I've learned a lot of tolerance. You
don't like a band that I like? Well, you may still be an idiot, but that's
OK. You don't have to like them. I'm sure there's some crappy group that
you like that I have no time for.
I used to be a lot more curmudgeonly when I was younger. Since I've started
hanging around with Peterik and his inner circle of musician types, I've
really learned to take the high road more often and let things go that are
toxic. That would have to be the biggest influence he's had on me
personally. Less stress, more happy.
