Even Woodstock turned out to be a disaster. Everybody was stuck in the mud and people got sick.

What I really remember is that people camped out everywhere, and the fact everybody expected it might turn into a big nightmare with all sorts of hassles because back in those days everybody was smoking pot and taking acid.

I took care of myself. Basically I'm a vegetarian, I run every day, I exercise. I kind of control my living habits. I try to get a good night's sleep every night, I don't stay up all night and do all that stuff.

The web site and the Internet are a whole new ball game.

I think after 1970 or so, after I sold Soul City, I took off for awhile and didn't do too many gigs.

But I always loved songs with great lyrics.

I'd gone through periods where I didn't work live performances for probably seven or eight months at a time.
