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.

There is no doubt in my mind who is number one - I have always been number one.

I hate categories. Hank Williams is a great artist, period. Bob Dylan is a great artist, so is Marty Robbins. They just classify these people and put them in categories so they can sell the thing easier.

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

After the Ed Sullivan Show, Feb. 9, 1964, at approx. 8:04pm [laughs], after that moment every album, every guitar, evey set of drums that was ever sold ... 10% should have gone right into their pocket!

Pain I keep to myself; my music is for entertainment purposes and I always have that in mind.

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