A few months back, Ben and I were asked to attend a class that would help become better answer interviewers and define the band more succinctly, standard stuff that most new artists undertake. We spent 4 hours a day for a couple days honing our skills. One of the assignments was to write the theme of the band into a bedtime story. The story was only supposed to be about 5 minutes long. I realized after finishing the assignment that one of my struggles is conciseness. I know that brevity is the soul of wit, but sometimes a good story needs a few more lines. My final effort became a Sidewalk Prophets bedtime story that I would like to share with you. It is nowhere near 5 minutes in length, but neither was any great bedtime story I remember. Besides, the point of a good bedtime story is to stay awake as long as you can before it’s time to turn out the light. Gather round the kids and tuck them in tight. Here is the story of our band’s foundation if ever Ben and I were in a fairy tale, “One Simple Truth.”
