I Don't Think I've Aged Gracefully.

I'd Break Out In Hives If I Had To Sing (`stairway To Heaven') In Every Show. I Wrote Those Lyrics And Found That Song To Be Of Some Importance And Consequence In 1971, But 17 Years Later, I Don't Know. It's Just Not For Me. I Sang It At The Atlantic Records Show Because I'm An Old Softie And It Was My Way Of Saying Thank You To Atlantic Because I've Been With Them For 20 Years. But No More Of `stairway To Heaven' For Me.

Little Drops Of Rain Whisper Of The Pain Tears Of Love Lost In The Days Gone By.

When You're 20 Years Old And You're Making Points With Volume And Dynamism, It's A Fantastic Thing To Do.

It's A Two-dimensional Gig Being A Singer, And You Can Get Lost In Your Own Tedium And Repetition.

I Know That Bands That Haven't Put Out A Record For 10 Years Are Playing To 20,000 People A Night. But That's Not The Achievement.
