My parents taught me what life is about, so I grew up the type they warned me about.

Most of the time when we do a tune, Bad Blake, it's a tune no one's heard of to begin with.

Anything that's new wave is new. As far as punk rock goes, I've never really been exposed to any.

How would you define [Bob] Dylan? You can't. That's a true artist. How about Ray Charles? Can you classify Ray Charles? No, you can't. He's just great, period.

I'm more of a rhythmic player. My soloing is pretty much limited to playing slide guitar.
