My personal taste doesn't enter into it a lot when I make my decisions as to what to parody.

You still have Top 40 radio now, but it's 40 different stations. There aren't many hits that everybody knows, and there aren't many real superstars.

I can't get too offended when somebody parodies me.

There are a lot of songs that would ostensibly be a good candidate for parody, yet I can't think of a clever enough idea.

I'm known for being an up, high-energy, and optimistic kind of guy.

It was difficult to get into my friends' rock bands when I was a teenager. They somehow didn't see the need for an accordion player. That's when I realized that I had to find my own path in life.

Pop culture's gotten much more disposable.
