Michael Sunday and I are the original members of the band. We first did it just for charities and benefit concerts. It was very ad-hoc, and before we knew it, we were really a band. We went through several drummers and guitarists before we were happy with the line up.

Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins.

Ringo is one of the world's true humans. The only one out those four guys, who did not have an agenda. Ringo was just into the music.

I am a still friend with Dave Crosby, he's a weird duck but I like him a lot.

The most significant thing about the Monkees as a pop phenomenon is that we were the only TV show about young adults that did not feature a wiser, older person.

I am more of an old black and white movies fan.

I get to play a scorching lead guitar, and there's not much that's more fun than that.
