I don't have to perform to stay in the public eye anymore. I really don't. I am who I am and what I do on musical stage these days really makes no difference at all. I already have all the momentum there. I am only doing it because I love to do it.

In my life I have had various health threats: polio, seizures, a brain aneurysm. None of these things has really changed me much, although it is hard to say for sure. These are events that are part of my life. They make me who I am. I am thankful for them. They are scary.

Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you were.

There were some things Reagan liked that I liked. The main component was that people have to talk to each other and help themselves.

Most pleasures, like flowers when gathered die.

Studios are passe for me. I'd rather play in a garage, in a truck, or a rehearsal hall, a club, or a basement.

I want to be a reflection of what's going on and let people draw their own conclusions.
