between Elvis's stardom and his Memphis home is only partially correct: that neutral space where Elvis's already constructed stardom just happened to make itself resident.1 As trivial as this difference between Elvis and other stars may seem to of the mass media: particularly film, television, radio, and recorded music.

I was out of school. I was stuck at home. I put on the beat and started smoking and I just said some shit. I kept laughing after [each line]. Faniyi got in touch with Flo Milli and presented her with a TikTok promotion plan. This worked better than Faniyi and Flo Milli could have hoped. Before Sueco the Child got to TikTok, he had figured out a method for going viral on Instagram with five-minute beat-making videos. It helps to have popular friends. Then he sold the beat to any interested viewers.

After the first clip garnered some interest, the videos became more elaborate.

Luke Bryan went from working at a peanut plant to selling out stadiums.

Sueco might go to a skate park, sample the sounds of skateboarders, and chop those field recordings into a beat. But I keep myself surrounded by the people that are, and I rely on them for things in my life. Baker: Not all the time. It oscillates. The days and the months and the years are very important to me.

It means too much to me. Which just happened about four times in the last year. And in all of those cases, I knew it was happening. People were talking about stuff before Tom Petty died.

And the only reason I said that about him is because I adore him and I wish he was alive until he was But since really turning my life over to the program, et cetera, I have not. And that is the worst way to deal with that situation. Soko: No. And I smoke weed occasionally. Harper: No. This is my first foray into absolute sobriety, and so, no, I have not. Anastasio: No.

This is sobriety number one for me. Tyler: Oh, sure I have, yeah. Smith: I stay sober through my personal relationships. Through gratitude. Through fellowship with other addicts. But initially that scared me, not having that social element. Anastasio: Your friend group changes when you get sober. The first thing that happens is your real friends emerge.

All the people who loved you, who you were probably hurting when you were drinking, and who had disappeared and were infuriating you and fighting with you, it turns out they were fighting with you because they loved you and they were worried. My wife, Sue, my parents, the three band members in Phish, and my band members in my solo band, and a couple of friends from high school were right there. Ninety percent of the people I was hanging out with just vanished. Boom—they were gone.

The party moved on. Tyler: When you get sober, you start working your program and you find out why you got so fucked up to begin with. How deep do I go into that? Isbell: It was a major change, and it was terrifying, but the farther you get into the woods, the less scary the woods appear.

And the more time I spent working on what had caused me to be a drunk in the first place, the less afraid I was of that particular ghost returning. And as time went on, it went from being a frightening experience to being an enlightening experience. But, you know, at the time it was like losing a friend.

Tyler: I continue to partake in the step program. I can be in Afghanistan, I can be in Japan, and go to a meeting and the room is full of alcoholics and people that did drugs like I did. And, believe me, the stuff they say is phenomenal. Baker: One of my friends was honest enough to tell me: You will never not think with your addict brain. It will never go all the way away. And you can learn how to interact with it, and you can make peace with it, and you can identify it and control it.

Isbell: Keep your head and your ass in the same place. Just try to live your life as it happens. I like that one a whole lot. My clarity and dynamics and directness with my friends, with my physical self and endeavors, with my creative process in the studio and live.

Tyler: I was just an angry fuck when I got high. And holding on to anger is like grabbing on to a hot coal with the intent of throwing it to someone else. Baker: What I see in so many people that recover successfully, they become passionate about something. Like writing music, or painting, or hiking, or, like, building ships in bottles.

Soko: I can totally party. If I decide to go out, I can be out till 6 a.

But it needs to be the right time and the right place and the right people. Tyler: There are times. But, you know what, I play it through. Harper: Hey, listen, I miss it all. I miss a fine bottle of red wine, I miss my Johnnie Walker Blue Label, I miss being obnoxious and loose-lipped with close friends.

Isbell: Definitely. It was kind of nice to not feel like everybody was moving in slow motion. I do miss certain things. But the minuses are a lot more than the pluses of ever going back to that life. If I were to relapse and stay that way, then I would miss everything about the life that I have now.

Music fandom is out of control. Eminem must think it’s weird that being a “stan” is now good.

Not just two or three moments that I probably remember very differently from how they actually happened. Baker: No. People are like that with beer and wine and it seems to be fun. But in truth, that was never my relationship to it, since I never, ever thought what alcohol tasted like, or even cared. It was just a catalyst for a feeling. And so I wish I could enjoy things in that healthy and natural way, and sometimes I think of the sort of media image of how a person is supposed to be in their 20s, and I think of a bar scene and people going out and drinking a little too much and being funny at karaoke, and I wonder what my life would be like if I could have those sort of silly and innocuous and quite pure interactions with alcohol.

That person was very selfish and hurt a lot of people. Walsh: I have some fond memories—a couple of the nights on the town with Keith that were just magic. I did. Anastasio: Not anymore, but there was a period of adjustment. There was a time, three or four years in, where I thought I had lost my mojo.

I had lived my life with reckless abandon to great effect—just pushing every boundary that was in front of me.
