With the new ways of getting music out, you don't need a label if you're a legacy artist.

There would be no rock and roll or rhythm and blues without Leo Fenders' contribution ... the tone is everything

You create the happiness and the balance that you have, and your own power. This is one thing that I know to be true.

I never saw music in terms of men and women or black and white. There was just cool and uncool.

Im happy to say that at 62, I think Ive reached that point where stuff doesnt bother me as much, and my gratitude level has gone way up, especially having gone through the loss that Ive had, and losing so many of the great artists that I was close to. They taught me how to see it with a grain of salt and a lot of humor and perspective.

Those of us who grew up in the '50s and '60s, we had the dream that this could be turned around, and the earth could be back in balance, and that we could level the playing field with men and women and pay, and you know, minority groups having equal opportunity. We just magically thought this was all going to happen: we were going to have clean food, and organic this, and conscious that, and it just didn't happen.

There are a lot of people that never get their stories told.
