My dad had a very difficult life, a hard struggle all the time at work. I've always felt like I'm seeking his revenge.

When I first started in rock, I had a big guy's audience for my early records. I had a very straight image, particularly through the mid '80s.

Unions have been the only powerful and effective voice working people have ever had in the history of this country.

More than rich, more than famous, more than happy...I wanted to be great.

I wanted to be the reasonable voice of revenge for what I'd seen [my father] life come to.
