I was a big J. Geils fan, a Steppenwolf fan and a Savoy Brown fan.

This music has been around since before the beard on Moses. I happed to do it very well and I happen to have a lot of groovy songs that I know people are going to dig. I know more about it than you do.

I love Willy DeVille. He's very missed.

On the day I was born, the nurses gathered around, to gaze in wide wonder at the joy they had found.

I said if you want to be Keith Richards, you've got to listen to Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry. Then I thought, "What did Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry listen to?" I said, "They listened to Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters." Well who'd they listen to? They listened to Robert Johnson. I said, "Ok, we'll start with that."

They said my friends were just an unruly mob, and I should get a hair cut and get a new job.
