Everything changes and, somewhere along the line, I'm changing with it.

I'm not bitter, I'm bittersweet.

Longevity is something I never gave a second thought to. I guess it's the shadow of growing up in post WWII, but I never believed I would live past 20. Here I am though... a senior citizen... my voice and heart are stronger than ever, but boredom is the greatest enemy so I have to be careful not to slip over the edge.

OK, I've had a life of sort of success, some people know who I am but a lot of people don't. I feel the need to change that still.

As far as the Animals breaking up - it was my fault. I wanted out. We took it to the max, as far as we could take it. Our reunion tour in 1983 went pretty good until we left America. Then we pushed it too hard and it fell apart.

I live my life, breathless... A life of constant motion and excitement. A life that many will envy and most would avoid!

Blues was made for the recessed.
