The direction for my music is heaven, of course. We gear all things to the realm of heaven - which is the mind, the organized mind.

Live Aid was a baby Woodstock, a child of Woodstock, which I call Globalstock.

I must have played every college and university at least three times, and that goes for most of the clubs. I'd be on the road six days a week, go home and change bags, and then be gone for another six days.

My mother's family came from the British West Indies. And my father's family came from, well, my father's father came from the Montana/South Dakota area. They were Blackfoot Indian.

Though it's frequently portrayed as this crazy, unbridled festival of rain-soaked, stoned hippies dancing in the mud, Woodstock was obviously much more than that - or we wouldn't still be talking about it in 2009. People of all ages and colors came together in the fields of Max Yasgur's farm.

I'm not in show business; I'm in the communications business. That's what it's about for me.

I eat once a day if I remember, and I try never to go to sleep.
