Risk Is Trying To Control Something You

Very Much Like That, And Very Much A Loner, Do You Know And I Didn't Fit Really Into Sport Or All Kind Of Group Activities As A Kid, I Couldn't Find A Niche. And Music Was Not Really Part Of The Kind Of Village Curriculum It Would, You Know.

The First Guitar I Ever Had Was A Gut-string Spanish Guitar, And I Couldn't Really Get The Hang Of It. I Was Only 13, And I Talked My Grandparents Into Buying It For Me. I Tried And Tried And Tried, But Got Nowhere With It.

I Have No Problem With Religion, And I Grew Up With A Strong Curiosity About Spiritual Matters, But My Searching Took Me Away From Church And Community Worship To The Internal Journey. Before My Recovery Began, I Found My God In Music And The Arts, With Writers Like Hermann Hesse, And Musicians Like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, And Little Walter.

Whatever Your Standing In Life, The Most Important Thing Is Behaving In Ways That Help Other People. It's The Same With Music. I Am A Servant Of The Music ... And If I Get Caught Up In Ego, I'll Lose Everything .. It'll Burn And That's A Guarantee.

I Think I Deliberately Sold Out A Couple Of Times. I Picked The Songs That I Thought Would Do Well In The Marketplace, Even Though I Didn't Really Love The Song.
