Radio is paid by advertising. They decide what songs to play that'll keep people listening. And that's what promoters and the Classic Rock people do.

I love Willy DeVille. He's very missed.

The [2012 covers album] 2120 [South Michigan Ave.] was different. We covered a lot of classics there. But most of the time when we did it I always prided myself on digging up obscure songs that no one knew of.

I saw the movie Sid & Nancy. It was a pretty good movie. It didn't really make me a punk rock fan. But anything that's new, as long as it's good I enjoy it.

Every time you go in and make a record it is like a calling card, not so people can come and hear you live or are interested in your catalog.

Everybody funny, now you funny too.

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