Similar in some ways, very different in others. I have never been in either place and want to experience that now. Creators and writers always inspire me to create and write. It is cool how that happens. Thank you Zane for another stellar interview. You are ALWAYS prepared and ask the most interesting questions. Even if you stray from the topic a bit it is always relevant to the conversation as a whole. That is also an art that few do as well as you. Thanks man!!!!!

    I discovered Jack when watching The Format: Live at the Mayan Theater DVD, where he had a brief interview about helping out for the show, where he said The Format was great because its "weird circus music". He was in Steel Strain at that moment. Then later when fun. absolutely blew up, it was like seeing a struggling local music friend (who I never met) finally get their break after being on of the most loved musicians of other musicians for 20 years. I never really got into Bleachers but still love fun. and The Format... Hadn't realized Jack had become this staple of production for a bunch of massively famous artists until recent videos. I just love knowing someone actually got through all the BS of this career choice and made it out the other side.
