There's something missing in the music industry today... and it's music. Songs you hear don't last, it's just product fed to you by the industry.

Only time will tell if it was time well-spent

I'm going back to my parrot head friends.

And I try to give the best bang for the buck. I love performing more than anything else.

You know, as a writer, I'm more of a listener than a writer, cuz if I hear something I will write it down.

Instinct taught me 20 years ago to pace a song or a concert performance. That translates into pacing a story, pleasing a reading audience.

I always said that I wouldn't use a teleprompter, and if I start to sing real flat, I'll hang it up.
