All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean the heavy metal from the '70s sounds nothing like the stuff from the '80s and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the '90s. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?

Live music is better.

The thing about my music is there really is no point.

The '60s was one of the first times the power of music was used by a generation to bind them together.

My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it and rock'n'roll and it has an urgency to it.

I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.

I don't like to be labeled to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music but it's counter-productive.

I just do what I do. I like to make music.

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.
