I'm not a musician, I just play bass.

But why is it that in music, anything more than 5 years old - apart from a few hits - is never played on radio to the young public?

I am much more my own man than I was when I was with the Stones.

Because of the fashion, the young people don't have any access to the history of music, unless people like me revive it. There are very few people to revive it, because you can't earn any money doing it.

I always say that I am very proud of the work that I did with the Rolling Stones and that I am also proud of what I have done with the Rhythm Kings.

You're always frustrated, you don't have the chance to do a song on the album, like the Beatles did with Ringo and George, or like Led Zeppelin, where everybody was given a chance to contribute. There never is a chance with the Stones.

You never know what your next dig is going to find.
