I Grew Up Playing In Clubs -

My Identity Shifted When I Got Into Recovery. That's Who I Am Now, And It Actually Gives Me Greater Pleasure To Have That Identity Than To Be A Musician Or Anything Else, Because It Keeps Me In A Manageable Size. When I'm Down On The Ground With My Disease-which I'm Happy To Have-it Gets Me In Tune. It Gives Me A Spiritual Anchor. Don't Ask Me To Explain.

I Used To Do Crazy Things That People Would Bail Me Out Of, And I'm Just Grateful That I Survived. But The Music Got Very Lost; I Didn't Know Where I Was Going, And I Didn't Really Care. I Was More Into Just Having A Good Time, And I Think It Showed.

When I Look For What I'm Going To Listen To I Go Backwards. I'm Always Going The Other Way You See. Most People Are Trying To Figure Out 'how Do I Get In The Fast Lane Going That Way?'. I'm Going In The Other Direction. I Wanna Find The Oldest Thing To Do.

I Just Like The Company Of Beautiful Women. I Have A Weakness In That Department. And I Suppose Because I Am Fairly Well Off And A Famous Musician, I'm Up For Grabs. And That Makes Me An Eligible Bachelor In The Press.

I Mean, The Sound Of An Amplified Guitar In A Room Full Of People Was So Hypnotic And Addictive To Me, That I Could Cross Any Kind Of Border To Get On There.
