Welly, welly, welly, if it isn't Mr.
Vince Palomara again.
Vince Palomara, Vince Palomara.
What's happening, man?
Good to hear from you again here on Cameo.
And you have a couple more questions for me.
So let's see what we got here.
First one is, have I ever thought of penning an autobiography?
[F] Well, not really, to be honest.
I've had some different offers from different publishers about doing that through the years.
And to be honest, I don't know, it seems like everything's been said already.
All my 25 years in Dream Theater, 85 to 2010, I mean, that is well documented.
The Lifting Shadows book that Rich Wilson did covers all of those years in detail.
And then everything I've done since then, the last 10 years, I've done so many interviews, it's all been done to death.
And to be honest, I've stopped doing interviews this year.
I'm just kind of tired of words being taken out of context and used as clickbait on all these metal websites and stuff like that.
So doing a book or an autobiography would just be feeding them.
And they would be running off with all these toxic, negative, out of context clickbait quotes.
And I don't know, I just don't need that drama.
And the bands that I play with and played with don't need that drama either.
So better off just avoiding all that.
In any case, the next question, do I keep in touch with John Mayung?
Well, actually, yeah, I do.
And he actually, he and his family came and spent New Year's Eve with us back a few months ago.
We had a really great time together ringing in the New Year together.
And, you know, John's a very quiet guy, so we didn't like post any pictures.
You know, we didn't put it out there.
He's not really into the whole social media thing, so I wanted to respect that.
We kind of just kept it a nice quiet evening between us, and we had a great time together.
And, yeah, so it was great to see him and spend time together.
And in any case, there you go.
So I hope that answers your questions, and I hope you're staying well and staying safe in these crazy times.
And hopefully we'll get back on the road soon and I can see you then.
