I'm a good collaborative writer. I can usually come in and add a couple lines to something, and add a riff or a B-section, or a bridge that will tie things together. I can do stuff like that. But to write a whole song, I don't have the patience for that, I guess.

People tell us they have been inspired by our music to do great things.

The studio that we mix in is still in Chicago.

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.

I don't know, I think the crowds are even more responsive now because the audiences are skewing younger.

Being in the studio is okay but sitting in a room by yourself composing is a discipline that takes a certain type of mind set and Tommy has a great gift for that as did the previous guy.
