I was out in Tampere the other day doing some shopping and I heard a shriek behind me. A short rainbow haired girl ran up to me. "Oh my god, you're Jonne Aaron and Ville's brother!" I couldn't help but smile at her, she was so enthuasiastic and excited, and I guess had recognized me from being on tour or something like that. "Are they with you?" she asked eagerly. I had to tell her that they weren't and her face fell as I knew it would. She looked at me doubtfully. "Do you sing?" I laughed, not expecting that, and shook my head and I have to admit she lost interest right then and there, but she ended up coming back to me later with two necklaces and a request that I give them to my brothers.
There are a lot of things I like about the turn our lives have taken. I once thought I might be in an ice hockey rink instead of a stage like that girl thought, but I like my life in the music business and can't see myself ever leaving. I like that fans appreciate and love my brothers the way they should be appreciated and loved, and we all know that much stronger words can be used than appreciated and loved. There are also things I don't like. Pushy fans with rainbow hair who would possibly have tried to tear my brothers apart had they been present (because you never really know,) the busy nature of our lives that sometimes keeps up from really getting quality time together, and simple life, age, and time that get in the way. Growing pains, I believe they call them, and Negative is a growing, breathing, living thing. And of course, so are we. The question is does growing up mean you grow apart. Rockers are a different breed in many ways, traveling in gypsy caravans, licking at each other's heart wounds like wolves in a pack. But then maybe it's not the band that I'm worried about.
