I've been touring now since about '68. I was in Germany when the wall came down. Unfortunately I was in New York when 9/11 happened.

For me, the focus are songs, which really get the audience moving.

Back then, I, most rockers loved Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis... you know in the '60s.

I have sung to large crowds since then, and there is a feeling that once you get over 100,000 people, you kind of lose the control element, you don't know if you are really getting through or not.

Oooh I get by with a little help from my friends.

I have one message for young musicians around the world. Stay true to your heart, believe in yourself, and work hard.
