I guess my main influences are Jesus, rock 'n' roll and ex-wives. In that order.
I'm not a big fan of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's just a personal thing, not an ego thing.

My faith plays a big part in who I am: a Christian guy playing pop-rock music. I'm in a pop-rock band, not a Christian band.
