My agent said that I was one of the top three busiest people in the country.

Always be consistent.

I was drafted and went to Korea where I had an opportunity to create a production team that did dramatic and comedy shows. I had also done a little disc jockeying.

My first commercial was for Miller High Life beer.

But otherwise, music is about a beat and a message.

We tell stories. We talk about statistics. And in 1978, we added an element of the show that gave it its heartbeat: the long distance dedication.

I accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative. That is the timeless thing.
