I do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good.

What excited me when I first came into it was the performing aspect and doing blues-oriented material, rock/blues oriented stuff, basic stuff, basic what they call rock 'n' roll.

I educated myself. To me, school was boring.

No guru, no method, no teacher, just you and I and nature, and the father in the garden.

Spiritual hunger and spiritual thirst But you got to change it On the inside first To be satisfied

I'm not a rock singer and I don't want to be a rock singer. I'm not interested. It doesn't seem to get across.

I can see more naturalness in basic blues, basic R & B, basic rock 'n' roll.
