Mick Jagger is in better shape than far too many NBA players. It's up in the air whether the same can be said of Keith Richards.

Success at the highest level comes down to one question: Can you decide that your happiness can come from someone else's success?

When you are in unrelenting, excruciating and debilitating pain that never goes away for years on end, your life is over.

I learned early on the value and the power of music to inspire and to drive me.

The Grateful Dead, they're my best friends. Their message of hope, peace, love, teamwork, creativity, imagination, celebration, the dance, the vision, the purpose, the passion all of the things I believe in makes me the luckiest Deadhead in the world.

During the course of my life, Grateful Dead played all the time. There were constantly concerts you could go to.

The passions I have in my life are my family, music, books, I'm an avid plant collector, and I love to ride my bike.
