Mike Ragogna: Jonny, I have a traditional question and I asked you this last time, but what advice do you have for new artists?

Jonny Lang: I’ll offer some blanket advice. Everyone has their own journey, but I think–and I’ve said this before–just remember at any given point along your journey where you’re sort of questioning what you’re about to do, just remember why you’re out here in the first place, why you’re doing what you’re doing, and sort of try to let that guide the ship a little bit because the things that you encounter out here, the distractions, which are many, they don’t serve to support your love for what you do. They serve to completely destroy you. You’ve just got to remember why it is you’re doing what you’re doing in the first place. Is it to tempt yourself into going down a road that’s going to destroy you or is it because you love what you’re doing? I don’t know, just try to keep in a frame of mind that’s going to allow you to make the right choices.
