"Well, I wasn't supposed to have lived this long," Ness says, answering a question that was supposedly about Springsteen. "But I'm grateful that I have, and I'm grateful that I've been able to do this for this long. A lot of people ask me, 'What would you hope for the future?' And I would say just to be able to continue, because a lot of bands can't. A lot of people have success, and they come in and make their millions of dollars, but they can't deliver another record that's of equal significance. I may not have been commercially correct, but you know, I feel that I've done it."
