I think a lot of the Mothers stuff that we recorded was written while we were on the road.

I don't know how Frank presented the old Mothers, since I never read the book. There might be some opinions on what he said, but I - or anyone else - could not make any corrections to anything Frank did.

I had pretty much raised my kids and my first wife and I were divorced, so I began, in earnest, to start my musical career again. Going for the big record deal and all of that.

I really don't have a theme when I start a sculpture. The rock guides me to the final sculpture. I think that is true for many creative sculpture artists.

We never got anything out of the recordings. I'm still as broke as I was when I was with the Mothers.

I've done every tour with them since then and will always be with them as long as they're together.

As far as me knowing if Frank was a genius - in those days, I thought Einstein was the only genius around.
