First of all, just because the Tea Party people appear to be generally uneducated, ignorant about the political process, ignorant about economics, confused about their own platform from the beginning, and indelicate when it comes to the craft of diplomacy, doesn't mean they're wrong.

I was in the back of the car with my girlfriend, the Rascals came on the radio and I realized their song was sexier than the sex I was trying to have.

I am a reformed Taoist, part-time Buddhist, Hindu, animist, pagan, Jewish mystic, and Christian. I always got along great with priests and rabbis and mullahs and gurus, even though I spend most of my life constructively criticizing them.

My lifelong friend and mentor Frank Barsalona is gone. And the music business as we knew it went with him.

I was obsessed with politics in the '80s. I've recovered and I'm feeling much better now, thank you.

Young fans want to know about the past and older fans also want to find new music.

I think it's important that all 50 years of rock 'n' roll live in the same place, because it's all connected.
