If you've got a guitar and a lot of soul, just bang something out and mean it. You're the superstar.

But remember, guitar players are a dime a dozen.

I wanted to stimulate thought instead of throwing things out or try to give a perspective. I just put stuff up and it's up for two or three weeks and I get tired of it, so I take it down and put something else up.

Theodore Roethke was a poet I was raised with so he has a lot of sentimental value for me.

Just the other day I pulled out this old cassette of Ragged Glory and I popped it into my cassette player and I was digging it. They were just a great rock and roll band, one that presents the song ahead of everything else - there's no grand idea or concept behind it.

When I perform, I like to immerse myself in the music, and I just try to get off on the diversity of music.
