Let the people know my wisdom, fill the land with smoke

You got to hidey-hide, you got to jump and run again. You got to hide-hidey-hide, the old man is down the road.

Even though I have often recorded alone, I still feel the best music is made by musicians playing off each other.

For years I walked around with the phrase "Green River" because I had seen that on a soda fountain drink when I was probably 8 or 9 years old, and I went, 'Gee, I like that.' Another one was "Lodi", which I thought sounded really cool. I got this cheap little empty plastic notebook at my local drugstore, and bought a little slab of filler paper and the very first title I wrote in it was "Proud Mary". I had no idea what that title meant.

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.

Playing guitar is a never-finished journey.

On Eye of the Zombie, I had so-called studio musicians.
