Guitar solos, to me, should be a really articulate way to make fun of guitar solos.

It's about friends and fun and about saving the kids.

When it's time to make music, that's about getting lost for me. To be a control freak is not half as good as being a freak who's casually in control. You're feeling around in the dark for something that feels good.

Really the topic of breakfast cereal is generally a very boring one.

I like to move forward and notice things along the roadside that indicate where I should go.

The problem is that music is selfish in that you need to make it for yourself, so that you can give it away, and those two things don't jive. I needed to find the right reason to play that had the magic and mystery and excitement that made me want to play in the first place.
