The Dream World Of Sleep And The Dream World Of Music Are Not Far Apart. I Often Catch Glimpses Of One As I Pass Through A Door To The Other, Like Encountering A Neighbor In The Hallway Going Into The Apartment Next To One’s Own.

The Only Thing That Counted Was High Arching Guitar Solos...

Being A Celebrity Made Me So Uncomfortable That I Would Have Preferred Standing Behind The Amplifiers.
