I was never really a bone fide member of the folk scene.
I just play, and I'm always trying to write songs.
I relate to the audiences and they know me. It's pretty real.
It's a perfectly human instinct to want to be near water.
I picked up a guitar, and I knew what I wanted to do.
I replaced Walsh, I replaced Blackmore, now I just gotta be me.
I'm just like my fans, and that's the way I like it.
Americans have the right to choose to be unarmed and helpless. Be my guest.
I really have the American dream licked.
I'm the gun guy, a loud guitar Dirty Harry with a ponytail.
At 62, I remain clean and sober and my ponytail remains erect.
I don't think I'll ever be able to grow a beard.
I wanted to make something that I wanted to hear that I wasn't hearing.
The story behind every song is individual to itself.
So I cut out all the drinkin' and hangin' out and stuff like that early on.
In the blues, it just takes so long for us to get recognized.
When I got to Chicago I had to find my way.
I have a pretty wide range of musical tastes.
I did play every little note on the guitar on that record.
I think we are looked upon as a veteran band.
Be my God, so I can just be me.
