I'm Not A Political Guy. I've Been

My Fans Have Been Very Loyal To Me, So I Want 'em Into The Mix Every Song. I Don't Want 'em Having Breaks On Stuff I'm Trying To Push On Them.

I Was Raised In Bars. My Grandmother Had One, And When I Was 12 Years Old I'd Go Stay With Her And That's Where I Got To Watch Her Band Play -- She Had A Seven Or Eight-piece Band, And I Would Sit In The Kitchen And Peek Through The Door. I Was Kind Of A 12-year-old Bottle Washer.

I Say If You're Going To Take A Chance On Something, You Just Go Full Balls To The Wall.

That's More Along What The Story Is, As Opposed To Me Being Onstage Singing.

If I Hear A Conversation And Somebody Says Something Intriguing, My First Thought Is, Is That A Song? I Write All Year Long, And At The End Of The Year I Pull These Forty Or Fifty Things Out And Say Which Of These Things Do I Want To Record.
