Put you energy into music. If it fails you, you can become an accountant or a dentist. And then if you become a dentist or an accountant, it's too late to become a musician afterwards.
Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.
Hitting a baseball well, as in cricket, is a very rare skill. One of most difficult things to do in the world to do, hitting a ball coming at you at ninety miles an hour with a round bat. Wonderful to watch.
Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins.
Shoe Suede Blues is ten years old this year. The Band consists of four members.
I have never done Cult TV before, the convention was good. It gives the fans a chance to meet the celebrities. Connect with the guy that used to be a bunch of coloured dots on your TV screen.
Elvis deserves a lot of credit for bringing the blues to middle America, not the Vegas stuff. The early stuff, The Sun records, and the first few RCA records. He was wonderful, he had the power, the drive, and he was so dedicated to his music.
The Monkees was a straight sitcom, we used the same plots that were on the other situation comedies at the time. So the music wasn't threatening, we weren't threatening.
The groupies are far more real now than there were then.
Oh, the most fun thing I've ever been asked to autograph was breasts.
My most favourite gigs that ever happened were solo, before The Monkees ever happened.
I am a still friend with Dave Crosby, he's a weird duck but I like him a lot.
Ringo is one of the world's true humans. The only one out those four guys, who did not have an agenda. Ringo was just into the music.
Every country has it trade offs.
Getting to play the blues has been transcendant for me. I can't say if my finest hour is yet to come, you want to make a dent in this world, well I do anyway.
I am more of an old black and white movies fan.
I did as well as I knew how and have nothing to be ashamed of.
I don't know about friends, but what time I spent with The Beatles they were very courteous to me.
I get to play a scorching lead guitar, and there's not much that's more fun than that.
I like to listen the blues and some classical.
