I'm now comfortable playing a lot of the old songs, and I've gotten out a lot of the old equipment.

Mr. Greed, why do you have to own everything that you see?

And I now think that Stratocasters and Telecasters are way cool.

Usually I just let my songs do the talking. As a matter of fact I have long had an aversion to celebrities endorsing politics, and in some cases even other causes. I wonder about their motives. And I have to admit when celebrities get involved in political campaigns I tend to get a little bit sarcastic about it.

Now that I'm older, I like almost anything that's done well, even surf music and instrumentals; I really enjoyed the interviews with the Ventures in your magazine.

I thought what I was good at doing was playing real simple guitar licks, since I'd cut my teeth on what Duane Eddy was doing; licks that were simple but had staying power.

There's a bad moon on the rise.
