Everyone knows deep in their hearts that the drums are the coolest instrument, and that a band is only as good as its drummer. So I'm all for drum solos. I'm all for drummers hamming it up. I'm all for drummers standing up and kicking over the kit.
When people say that L.A. doesn't have a culture, I think it really does: a very old culture, and very specific. There's streets named after entertainers, and statues of entertainers, and it's great. Entertainment is still art, even if it makes billions of dollars. So it's like a city built on entertainment, and art in a way.
Music documentaries are tricky because of 'Spinal Tap.' That movie has stood the test of time.
My showbiz career started with 'SNL,' and to write an 'SNL' book... well, there are already enough of those.
I travel a lot. I'll go back and forth, you know, West Coast-East Coast, but it's separated by segments. So it's not a daily thing.
The day of parts of the country hating each other, or rivalries like that... I feel like that's dead.
