Everything that Traffic ever did, I'd give Steve a complete lyric, titled, written out with the verse, the bridge, the shape and rhyme and then Steve had to figure out how the meter of the words would fit musically.

I turned everybody on so, psychologically, I guess I was pushing the boundaries creativity.

So the name of a group has to say something. The name has to be strong.

After that, I specifically started writing lyrics. I would like sweat and think and get it all together.

You know, I had the ability like a catalyst to really get everybody hyped up.

You have to have a strong title. It's got to say something.

Traffic was very, very free. It was great.
