For every rockabilly festival staged here, there are 10 held overseas.

To me, rockabilly music paralleled punk's energy and feeling, but the players were much better.

I'm not God's gift to rockabilly. There's great players out there, and some of them deserve a lot more than they've gotten.

We weren't afraid to mix some crazy styles into the standard rockabilly look. We also took a lot of different musical influences that were part of that era.

With the Stray Cats at least, we really took the music somewhere else. First, we wrote our own songs. That's a real weak point in modern classics if you do rockabilly or blues.

So, where's the Cannes Film Festival being held this year?
