I was knocked out by the show, Chicago.

A lot has been written and said about why he was so great, but I think the best way to appreciate his greatness is just to go back and play some of the old records. Time has a way of being very unkind to old records, but Elvis' keep getting better and better.

I am deluded enough to think I can bring something to the table.

New York was the inspiration for The Heart of Rock and Roll and Workin for a Livin. There are a lot of songs in the streets of New York.

I grew up in Marin County north of San Francisco, and in the 1950s and '60s it was a natural paradise.

Now the old boy may be barely breathing, but the heart of rock and roll is still beating.

When you get in the pocket, there is a place where the music begins to play itself. When you can find that spot, it's the best feeling in the world.
