Music is always going to be only as sophisticated as the culture that consumes it.

When I'm at home I practice everyday.

Music is always going to be only as sophisticated as the culture that consumes it.

My brother and I had a real love-hate relationship with my success. There was some bitterness there that I didn't understand until recently, but I told him that if I ever did a record I wanted him to play on it.

Had I joined a straight rock band, I'm sure my drumming would be a little bit different right now.

The thing I try to do the most is to play in terms of the song and play in terms of what I'm hearing.

My brother was always in bands and on the road when I was a kid and he was my inspiration. He never made it with a big band, in fact he never made a record. Here he is fifty-something years old.
