"There is a marvelous peace in not publishing.… I like to write. I love to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure"
(JD Salinger in a rare interview in 1953, not publishing after Catcher In The Rye, now hiding in New Hampshire for decades).
Replace 'write' for 'making music'. Could be Von.
(Hmm, that is, if the now-and-then festival means pleasure to him)

although I think Von doesn't write music for his pleasure... as a matter of fact, I guess he doesn't write at all these days ... and if he does, it's for the money...

I hear what you are saying, but JD has been writing the whole time. Von has not. At all. Big difference.
But I would love if you were right, that would justifie a lot in my world. But just sitting on your ass in Amsterdam and play computergames does not count.
Trent Reznor got free from his record contract, what did he do, he released 4 albums in 3 years. what did Von do? Erm, wrote one more verse, maybe.

Brilliant! Maybe they can write some new songs and release a album.
