Most bands are commercial enterprises. But I'm not in one of those bands.
I've been around the block a couple of times, and the guy I am now is the guy I like to be.
My father was a Norwegian tenor and my mother a New York Irish librarian.
The first Latin music that blew my mind was bumba, which was a Puerto Rican beat.
The world today is the same as it always was but people know more about what's going on in the world than they used to.
I think we as a band, as individuals, understand that all popular music stems from blues and jazz and even pop, but rock 'n' roll especially comes from blues. What we're trying to do is play rock 'n' roll, but other people call it different things.
