"The best Pizza
in Metro Detroit"

JN: Is it true that you pray before
your shows?
DK: We have a little circle where all
the musicians and all the people on
the crew get together and hold hands

show because once that show starts, it
doesn't stop for 2 1/2 hours. I've
found that it's really important to have
that quiet, centering time
for us right before we go
on stage.
