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.

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

But I always loved songs with great lyrics.

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.

I was rooming with Jimmy Bowen at the time, doing some gigs, then I went back to New Orleans and played there in '62.
