I grew up in Detroit. So my mother always loved big band music.

People don't care how you feel. You need to paint pictures, you need to tell stories. That's what people want. They want to be entertained. Then all of the other stuff kind of filters across as part of the whole thing.

Money was a much saner goal than adoration. They'll both drive you crazy but if I'm going to blow my brains out for five years, I want something to show for it.

Somebody asked my friend Bob Seger, Why do you think the Eagles broke up? He said, Hotel California.
