Get down with your old Allman Bros. records!

I don't really have a great deal of spare time. I still have a house in the country, but I'm in London 90 percent of the time.

You can never get silence anywhere nowadays, have you noticed?

But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.

I don't do interviews at all when I'm on tour, so this time, on a day off, I'll do that kind of thing a little bit. I don't do big promotion schedules, not when I'm touring.

And Mary J. Blige, she's got all these fur coats and hats and stuff. She's good; I like her.

I don't think I've ever played the Olympia before, but I'm not totally sure.
