David Yow (the Jesus Lizard, artist, Qui, Scratch Acid)

SPB: How has aging affected your musical performance?

Yow: Dunno if it's due to aging, but I have almost no desire whatever to play in some full-time musical outfit.

SPB: Is touring a larger physical burden?

Yow: I haven't done any touring in a few years, but, without a doubt, touring when old is far more burdensome than when young.
