Rock 'n' roll never sleeps it just passes out.

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.

I figured if you want to get to where John Hammond is or Billy Gibbons is or Peter Wolf is, you have to start listening to the same stuff they did, and learn from that, and that's what I did.

If you don't start drinking, I'm gonna leave.

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 know I'm not going to sing like Aretha Franklin or Elvis Presley or any of those people.

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.
