Regardless what technology is, I like analog too.
We still play Foreigner songs. I play the songs that I was involved in writing.
When we finish this tour we are going to begin writing and go into the studio to hopefully have a brand new Foreigner album out in early spring next year. This will be the first Foreigner album out in about ten years.
A lot of times Mick will play me different things, or I'll listen to a cassette, and out of twenty ideas or whatever, I'll find two or three that are just blowing me away, and we'll start working on them right away.
We put out press releases to tell people what had happened to me and that I had a large weight gain but a lot of people still didn't know. The ones that didn't know were floored. That was a real humbling experience for me.
I am starting to look like and perform like the Lou that I used to be.

It was kind of fun being the headliners.
We play some of my stuff and we play some Beatle covers.
I went in for an operation to remove a brain tumor.

Five years ago we were working on a new album when my health began failing.
The future is finally something that we can now put into focus.
I go to the gym five days a week and I have a personal trainer. I am on a strict diet, which is kind of hard to keep up with on the road, but I stick to it as well as I can.
It's only in the seventies that I put the sticks down and I moved to the front.
In those days it was pretty cut and dry. If you had a record company believing in you enough to cut an album then you had better have the ability to work the album on the road.
For the next three plus years, I really was not in creative shape. That part of my brain was not functioning.
You have to work with the ideas and give them a little push.
After the accident Black Sheep was pretty much at an end.
