“It's beyond my wildest dreams to come out, represent my family, my father and th…” — Jason Bonham

I strive to be positive. I begin every day asking myself what I can do to make this a positive day.

I never imagined in my wildest dreams when I was 17 watching Van Halen at a Donington Park rock festival and seeing Sammy Hagar later on when I was in the United States playing that I would end up with a band of guys I bought albums of.

I don't think I've ever met a drummer who didn't tell me that my dad was an influence. He's a tough act to follow.

I don't mind talking about dad and stuff, because that's part of my life, you know? For me to pretend to be like him, and do the same things he used to do is over. I can see past it now. It took me thirty-eight years and sobriety to realize who Jason Bonham is.
