I don't know exactly where the ideas come from, but when I get into a songwriting mode and it's coming along, it's like you're on the front end of a boat and you're going through the water, and the breeze is blowing through your hair and the water's smooth, and you're going out to sea. I love that feeling.

It must have been the summer of 1967, the Beatles were singing love is all you need. I held her hand as we walked through the arcades.

I passed out in our front yard. But honey, don't turn out the light, cause I think I'm in the mood for love tonight.

And I thought to myself, 'I haven't had a Schlitz since the third grade!

I went to the movies with my little Peggy Sue, I had a dip there in my lip just like I always do.

A man can’t have too many guitars or too many shotguns.
