Freedom and Liberty cannot exist without Individual Responsibilty. Failure to exercise Individual Responsibilty forfeits your right to self-governance and delivers it to Government which, through force, will set the parameters of your life.

I listen to oldies but goodies stations, '60s and '70s music.

The idea of taking a song, envisioning the overall sound in my head and then bringing the arrangement to life in the studio...well, that gives me satisfaction like nothing else.

The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Phil Spector. Those were my idols.

I hate those old falsettos, I really do, and it's embarrassing since I've grown up.

I believe that music is God's voice.

I was very, very financially secure my whole life. I have been very lucky to say that.
