Back then people closed their eyes and listened to music. Today there's a lot of images that go with the music. A lot of music is crap and it's all commercial and the images are all trying to sell the record.
Live music is better.
It's better to burn out than to fade away.
It's cool to go places where working people are happy.
My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.
I don't think I'm a thorn in the industry, I'm just another part of it.
