You know, I had the ability like a catalyst to really get everybody hyped up.
Mr. Fantasy was the only song that was scribbling on a piece of paper.
Traffic was very, very free. It was great.
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.
So the name of a group has to say something. The name has to be strong.
I have to confess that a strong contributing factor was that I had just taken what was probably the first acid ever made, given to me by a guy called Johnny Fellows, who had just returned from America.
