Woodstock was both a peaceful protest and a global celebration.

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.

I saw the Village as a place you could escape to, to express yourself. When I first went there, I wrote and performed poetry. Then I drew portraits for a couple of years. It took a while before I thought about picking up a guitar.

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

I opened the Woodstock Festival even though I was supposed to be fifth. I said, 'What am I doing here? No, no, not me, not first!' I had to go on stage because there was no one else to go on first - the concert was already two-and-a-half hours late.

I don't get sick. I can't afford to get sick.

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.
