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

I'd never go onstage in my life without fully intending to do the best show you've ever seen.

Rock music had become my religion. Radio my church. And these DJs my priests, rabbis and gurus.

Enuff Z'nuff is one of the most underrated bands in the world!

Within three hours of a disaster event there should be a recon damage assessment of the infrastructure and an educated guess as to the casualties and degree of imminent human peril. Then make the airdrops of supplies and personnel. Simultaneously, Seabees would be dropped in, with lights and generators, to begin rescue efforts.

From the age of 14, 13, I guess I wanted to be a rock 'n' roll star. And that was it. I wanted to make a living playing rock 'n' roll, and it was a ridiculously impossible dream at that time. But it was kind of all I ever wanted to do. It's nice to do it.

Rock'n'roll as a genre is different from pop and hip hop: it is about bands, and that for me suggests brotherhood, family, friendship and community.
