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.

Far From Home was also my idea from a magazine I'd seen.

For me, naming bands was the forerunner to really writing lyrics, because I work off titles.

Traffic was very, very free. It was great.

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

I have always had a tremendous amount of energy and any band I was ever in from the age of fourteen, I would always be the one who would describe the future and vibe everyone up.

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