Devin Townsend "Afraid of your own potential"

I should really be sleeping and not awake watching video interviews but these guys hardtimes.ca/ have some great ones. Strapping Young Lad ruled my world when City was first released, and I followed Devin Townsend closely for many many years. Ocean Machine, Infinity, Physicist and Terria we're all big musical moments for me. Interesting to hear his thoughts and ideas on his place and his music's place in the world now. He speaks briefly about the musical climate here in Canada which I've been heavily pondering myself for the past several years. When someone on his level speaks such a way about it really brings certain things into perspective.

Perhaps a planned/hoped for sojourn and/or exodus from Toronto isn't the worst idea? You tell me...

This is a long one (38min) but well worth watching if you have any interest in the cosmology of Secret Chiefs 3. The interview touches on a lot of different topics. I wish more interviews we're as in depth and varied as this one.
