I never envisioned what I was doing as part of a career.
The really pop country stuff can sound a little bland because they put in strings and horns and all of that.
Over the years, when you're in a band with a catalog like Aerosmith's, you accumulate a lot of instruments to duplicate those songs.
Music is music; you don't have to put a label on it.
I think people have to be more aware of what the repercussions are of their actions.
I know that some of the great painters and some of the great artists didn't even start to 'peak', as you say, till they were in their fifties and sixties. And God knows, history is full of artistic people that weren't even recognized till they were dead and gone.
