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 mean, you could have said Elvis Presley was new wave when it happened. I heard Willy DeVille and Tom Petty and to me they were new wave really because they were new.

Rounder Records decided to call the album Move It On Over, much to my chagrin but they knew what they were doing. It took off and to this day I can't figure out why.

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

Rock and roll never sleeps. It just passes out.

I didn't live in the world of disco or the world of the Eagles.

You can't rely on luck. I've had some stages in my career where I've said we're going to wing it, and we've always ended up in trouble.
