I love songs that have a rocking and grooving feeling.

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.

Don't go on American Idol, I think you'll spend the rest of your life living it down and I think it's getting kinda scary, isn't it?

Well, we have this place in Telluride, Colorado. Its somewhere I can just get away and relax and think.

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

The world is a tougher place to live in than it was back then, as we come into the computer age.

I would like to be able to do a song with Ray Charles, before we both get too old.
