Smash Notes
What Was It Like to Quit MTV and a Million Fans
at 13:20
Answer
Chris knew that The Presidents was not the gig he wanted, the the allure of TMV and cheering fans was pulling him in. As a result, quitting the band in '97 was a very messy and emotional experience.
By the time the band retired a second time however, Chris was at peace with what he really wanted from life and ending PUSA was a neutral, education, and self-aware experience.
