No, in 1968 I still wanted to be a Pop Star, and be about the music. Now, I want to be just about the music.

It was so much fun to do, play the blues and then play a Monkees set on the same night.

Vampires!!! What a time to be caught without a turtleneck!

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

The four of us couldn't have made a record with the time left over when we were shooting the show. We were on stage from 7.30 in the morning 'til 7 at night. Later on, when there was a break from filming, and we were sick of doing it the old way.
