When Grandpa Was Ill And Could've Died,

For Me I Look At A Group Like Queen Or Ac/dc Or The Beastie Boys. There Was Melody Within What They Did. There Was A Certain Style With What They Did. I Think It Is Coming Back.

As I Look Back, I Understand What [the Record Company] Was Getting At. They Were Trying To Market A Record And Make It As Commercially Acceptable As Possible. It Hurt Me And My Credibility With Critics.

[dean Martin ] Had This Really Wonderful Rich, Authentic, Distinct Vocal Style. His Humour In Movies [and] The Self-deprecation And The Coolness He Had Could Overshadow What A Marvellous Vocalist In The Great American Songbook He Is.

I Think I Was Annoyed Going Through The '90s Just As A Guy Who Loves Music. There Wasn't A Lot Of Music For Me. Everything Was Groove Driven. We Lost The Plot With The Melody. There's No More Melody.

I Can't Sit And Compare My Trouble To Brian Wilson But I Came From A Blue-collar Family Of Fishermen. Music Was An Escape And A Way For Me To Dream Of Better Things And A Better Place To Be. Let's Just Say I Was An Insecure, Scared Kid.
