    I wrote this when I linked this video from my Instagram… This turned out to be the most meaningful interview that I’ve done so far to me personally.
    It was originally only shown to prisoners while Covid prevented them from being able to have visitors.
    I spoke more vulnerably than I normally would because I thought this would only be shown there to others who have faced similar traumas at the time. I have since agreed to have it posted on the Send Musicians To Prison TH-cam as well in case it is helpful to anyone else 🙏🏼❤️

    This conversation is what we need more of in the world and where humanity should move toward:
    connection
    openness
    support
    empathy
    compassion.
    The world is maxed out on opposition and competition.
    This is especially hard for modern men. But we see here that it’s possible.
    Men supporting men.
    But also women supporting women.
    And every combo there is.
    Celebrate and encourage the aforementioned qualities in girls, women, boys and men.
    Tim, your essence is shining through here, your focus on the other that is not anticipating attack or ridicule, your smiling.. it’s beautiful to see and feel, and 100 times stronger than your physique.
    Resist temptation from outdated ‘masculine’ templates and keep radiating from THIS place, you can do magic ✨

    it's crazy because you will see how men who went to prison and get out and make all the changes in life to be a better person will be celebrated for their change, they can be a beacon of inspiration but for Tim it still remains a black eye
    I think a lot of what has to do with it is he was likely a hero for a lot of people who loved his music. I know his lyrics helped me a ton through some tough times and I would think there's even more people out there who had it worse that looked to tim and AILD and their music to get through it

    Tim reminds me of this slightly known professional arm wrestler Dave Chaffee in his appearance and his dialect. Chiseled and of David and Zeus in shadow. Quiet though and humble, enduring. Not letting critique define will in passion of what he wants to do. I tell myself mistakes are the best way, and enduring others mistakes are an even better way to learn things, but life is a slow, beautiful process. It's good to take things not as a plant takes water but as things come instead. Not rush learning past the regrets and pains of life. That will keep us smart, and long lived. Much fortitude, and expression here. Tim is an admiration of what I hope for everyone to be.

  • @jasonweddington3782

    It's very nice to see all the supportive comments on here. I do not understand how or why people take 1 really bad situation in a person's life that became public and just judge then based off that 1 thing alone for the rest of their lives. When 1. just because that 1 thing became public we as the public never know the full story of everything, 2. what ever happened to paying a debt to society for that mistake and then supposed to be freed and you paid your debt, but no one sees it like that anymore, 3. PEOPLE CAN CHANGE FOR THE BETTER AND LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES, that's what living life is all about, no one is perfect we all screw up, it's about learning from those screw ups and growing from them as a person to become the best person we can be. Why should anyone be condemned forever for there past mistakes if they have done everything they were obligated to do, supposed to do on a human level, and have shown that it was a 1 time mistake. They don't continue to keep having issues with whatever. Just my opinion.

I'm so glad Tim that you didn't loose that chance. You are a good soul.

    Fire bad. The bit about burns changing your perspective on pain is no joke. I can't even imagine the literal hell that severe burn victims face.
    At 18 I incurred 2nd degree burns across a good amount of my right foot (VERY stupid story) and while it took months to heal, I luckily only to wash it out with saline every day. Picking bits of melted plastic out of my feet wasn't rad, but again nothing compared to real burn victims. Just imagining scrubbing those or worse burns makes my whole body tense up. Fuck dude.
    Plz be careful. Fire bad.

He then became a drunk and me and my mom had to see him struggle and the verbal abuse from his anger he took it out on everyone and because of his brain damage. He is alive and in an assisted living home. I'm almost 34 now.

      I totally agree with you. And, I might have drowned without the love and support of my family close to me who believed I could change. So many of the other guys who I was incarcerated with didn’t have a great support system, so that’s a big part of why I support organizations like Send Musicians to Prison who step in.
