Some people are denizens of the studio. I'm more of a denizen of the live appearance. I love the live thing.

I actually have heard of acts who only do their new album, and don't do their hits. I've never been in that mind set.

I've always been very involved with environmental issues. I was fortunate to be one of the speakers at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janiero some years back, and Bruce Johnson and I served on the board of the Surfrider Foundation here at home. Locally and globally, we need to be doing everything we can to help Mother Earth.
