A lot of people ask me why I don't expand and explore other musical areas, but I like the plain three- and four-chord rock-and-roll that I call the the semi-blues.

A lot of the songs I've recorded are songs I write.

Partly, I like a bad reputation. But I also want a reputation of being a good person.

You know, I have a really tough time finding new bands.

I really wanted it to be organic and coming from my heart. So, I think maybe the initial thought of wanting to go in that direction, I had to wait until things happened in our world and in our country that fired me up enough where the words came out organically.

For me the challenge isn't to be different but to be consistent.

I've done some acting and a lot of different things, but mostly it's the music.
