Is there any new music that you are fond of these days ? I really like My Morning Jacket , so the new Jim James record is pretty great . Big Father John Misty is really good . I like The Head and the Heart a lot ; they are a really good band . I gravitate toward the songwriters . The music business has evolved so much since you broke in . Do you envy how musicians these days are able to instantly connect with fans and sort of do things on their own ? I don’t know that I have what it takes to be the entrepreneur you have to be now if you want to get yourself out there . But out of all this , they have a chance to have a career . [ But ] then you have to start to figure out what is going to be the vehicle to get the new superstars of tomorrow out there .

I’m looking forward to shutting down the house , grabbing the family and going out on the road for a while , being on a working vacation . Once it gets its own legs , we’ll start to figure out what the new Matchbox stuff will n look like . SOUTH JERSEY MAGAZINE volume 16 issue 4 SouthJerseyMagazine.com | 43
