If You Have A Tone Like Mine

It Takes A Long Time To Sound Like Yourself.

A Lot Of People Ask Me Where Music Is Going Today. I Think It's Going In Short Phrases. If You Listen, Anybody With An Ear Can Hear That. Music Is Always Changing. It Changes Because Of The Times And The Technology That's Available, The Material That Things Are Made Of, Like Plastic Cars Instead Of Steel. So When You Hear An Accident Today It Sounds Different, Not All The Metal Colliding Like It Was In The Forties And Fifties. Musicians Pick Up Sounds And Incorporate That Into Their Playing, So The Music That They Make Will Be Different.

If You Don't Know What To Play, Play Nothing.

That's The Way You Judge A Car, Man, [good Or Bad], When You Start It Up. It's Just The Same Thing. I Mean, I Drive A Ferrari - Not To Be Cute, But Because I Dig It. I'd Rather Drive A Ten-year-old Ferrari Than One Of Them New Things-they Don't Go.

I Used To Enjoy All The White Bands When I Was A Kid Listening To The Radio. But The Record Companies, They Take Music And Label It - Like, They Say "rock". Because The White Singers Can't Sound Like James Brown, They Call Him "soul". They've Been Doing That For Years. That's The Prejudice Crap.
