The first album is a classic record and I think the prototype of a sound that no one else does.

Kids need stuff which is different than what their life is that they can kind of live through.

I'm hoping that with the high profile that the Go-Go's are going to have over the next year, that if anybody is interested in what else I do, I'll have something I can say that I do.

Because usually in the past when I was in a big band, that was all I did.

When we finished the tour we had been writing together for a year. We moved forward from there and have just now finished our record. We're having a new record out in the Spring.

I think it's a reflection of the music business in general, which to me seems very fragmented.

A lot of people don't realize it, but I've a lot less success than I've have had success.
