There tunes are not always downstream. Although they are a HUGE band.
"You wrote "We cannot let our past rule our future".
If this is just realizing a dont want and followed by a shift of focus on what he DOES want I see him being downstream.
If he dwells on and describes what is and what was it would be upstream."
He just made the statement (which there was more to) and either went onto something else OR continued with another statement.
At any rate, I cannot tell you his personal life. I can tell you he is HUGE in many different causes...AIDS, starving Africa and those are all I can think of off the top of my head. Also, from my understanding, he FUNDS many of them. Still am not qualifying the rest of his lifestyle to say he is 'balanced and living downstream' because I have no idea.
