"Tearing through the room like an F5 tornado was Taylor Hawkins, my brother from another mother, my best friend, a man for whom I would take a bullet. Upon first meeting, our bond was immediate, and we grew closer with every day, every song, every note that we ever played together. I am not afraid to say that our chance meeting was a kind of love at first sight, igniting a musical "twin flame" that still burns to this day. Together, we have become an unstoppable duo, onstage and off, in pursuit of any and all adventure we can find. We are absolutely meant to be, and I am grateful that we found each other in this lifetime." From Dave's thanks to each of his friends in the last chapter of his book, The Storyteller.
This is why I have a hard time seeing them continuing to perform.... at least for a while. It's not like they need the money.
