It helps me get more excited about touring because I'm usually not too excited about it.

Re: Jeff interview regarding skateparks
I think that's the headspace they are all in now. oh well. at least they aren't blowing it all on crack.The way I look at it is if I'm touring and doing more things with the band I make more money. If I make more money I build more parks. It helps me get more excited about touring because I'm usually not too excited about it.

Re: Jeff interview regarding skateparks
Yeah, these guys are such assholes. It's all a money grab.
...EDDIE HAS A FIRE POLE!!
Fuck. Um...Is it correct that you're personally reaching into your pocket and paying for these parks?
Oh yeah. The band's Vitalogy Foundation takes $3 from every ticket and we split that up five ways for our causes. That ends up being a good chunk of change, but most of the bowls I pay for out of my own pocket.
Can you ballpark how much of your own money you've spent on building skateparks?
I have no idea. The little foundation I have is called The Montana Pool Service and the bowls and pools we build end up being 60 to 80 grand each. I've probably built like 12 or 13 of those. I don't know what that works out to be.
