Guys like Otis Blackwell and Bobby Darin, and all the guys who were writing songs for Elvis at the time, just hanging around, writing songs, talking about music.

About two months into the Whisky, I borrowed some money and rented a remote recording truck.

All summer long we spent dancin' in the sand, and the jukebox kept on playing Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

I've got a Fender Concert amp from the '60s, the one Joe Osborn used. He played his bass through it.

My first really good guitar was a Gibson J-45.

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

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.
