Going Big, by Jon:

"When I was in bands, we'd get pissy when another local band got to go to South by Southwest, or when another local band got a better time slot at a show, or recognized for some great work. Really stupid stuff that was very small. It didn't make the other band smaller, it made me smaller. And it didn't really make me feel better in the long run. It didn't make me write better music or put better energy out there into the world."
