The live concerts are still one of the two greatest joys of my life.

We always got a strong response but I think in this day in age there is less of a marijuana fog at concerts and more of people just more naturally exuberant - it seems to me.

They're kind of baby steps. We haven't made any measurable impact on the mortality rate or survival of this disease.

In my own mind, we are a much happier and much more functional family and a much more well balanced group of individual s both off and on the stage - in the current incarnation.

Whereas with us - what you hear is what's happening right then and there on the stage - so we don't need no stinking technology.

We're gonna release a studio album probably a year from now and we've got these recordings that we did with Coco Taylor and Johnny Johnson, who was Chuck Berry's piano player.

I don't quite have the energy for extra curricular activities. I have to pace myself a little bit more.
