Justin Furstenfeld sings Stephenie Meyer’s praises

Posted on 27. Mar, 2009 by AmyO in News, Stephenie Meyer

In an interview with Ogden’s Standard Examiner Justin Furstenfeld talks about his experience with the Breaking Dawn tour this past summer. 

“She called and asked my management if I would go, because some of my songs inspired her work,” Furstenfeld said. “We really bonded. Now we talk about once a week, and she comes out to the shows. She is a classy, classy young lady.”

Furstenfeld said they are enjoying each other’s accomplishments.

“I am real proud of her, and she of me. We keep each other’s spirits up.” He laughed. “We are definitely homies now.”

The tour, where Furstenfeld played acoustic solo versions of a few Blue October tunes, made him want to take his own writing to new heights.

“I was like a kid in the candy store, working with this talented novelist who’s sold something like 30 million books. ‘Oh, I am not worthy,’ I’d be thinking. But I think being around her brought my own writing to another level. Now I am not just some guy in a rock band, but a guy who strives to write really nice, literary poetry.”

The article was written to promote Blue October’s concert stop in Salt Lake City next week, which quite a few TwilightMOMS are going to.  If you’d like more info on that concert check out this thread in our forums.
