I'm not bitter, I'm bittersweet.

I look upon The Animals, they were a great band initially, we left our mark, but thing was it was a band that couldn't live up to its name so I soldiered on. On one level, it was devastating for a while. On another level, maybe I should thank them for helping me make my own way in my own career.

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

It's the need for change that drives us to join forces with our brothers and sisters all around the world - but change is slow.

Through it all, this wild life on and off the road , through Jordanian deserts , Spanish islands, German prisons, Caribbean tax scams, halls of fame,wine, women, and all the drugs under the sun - one constant companion has never abandoned me . My first true love : singing Its been the savior of many poor boy, and God I know I'm one

Recording - once something's done, it's done, there's not much you can do about it. It's out there and you just have to pray to the gods.

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