I wrote a couple of songs that had gypsy references in them. The only reason it happened was because that's what was coming through and I liked the idea at that period of time. But that doesn't mean that it's a myth or that I'm a gypsy. It's gotten totally out of context.

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

These days politics, religion, media seem to get all mixed up. Television became the new religion a long time back and the media has taken over.

The fog of illusion, the fog of confusion is hanging all over the world.

Let me purify my thoughts and words and deeds that I may be a vehicle for thee.

At the end of the day, we should give thanks and pray, to the one, to the one.

There's quite a few people getting into that - new acts coming along that are using a lot of stuff that happened in the 50s and 60s. They're completely ignoring the 70s which is kind of a turn on because to me nothing has really gone down in the 70s.
