"From 1958 to 1964, that's real rock n' roll. Then the Beatles hit and everyone sounded like them."
"I taught myself to tune in to another persons wavelength, figure out what they were looking for, and try to project that thing back at them."
"I started out as an opportunistic renegade. By now, I've lasted long enough to become sort of an American Original Respectable Renegade."
