If you give it good concentration, good energy, good heart and good performance, the song will play you. |
Forever Young, by Dylan, is one of my favorite songs. |
Anytime I switch to another instrument, I immediately turn it into another kind of drum so that I can understand it better. |
Most of our stuff was trial and error. You live with a tape recorder, you turn it on, you play the song and you listen to it. |
The way to do it is to put as much life into the song as I can. You can either get it to breathe or you can't. |
The Band never really played big concert tours. We never sold millions and millions of albums. |
Don't we all want what's best for each other? |
My dad and I played music. He teaches me a song or two every time I'm home. |
Well, somebody's got to sing. They won't hire you unless you sing. |
I've had all the lessons I could get. I've learned from everybody I've ever met. |
If you pour some music on whatever's wrong, it'll sure help out. |
The rock star stuff never came up for us. The Band was never attacked by groupies before, during or after any show that we ever played. |
I like to get within handshaking distance of the crowd. If it happens, they know it, we know it, and that's all we came here for. |
I never subscribe to the stay-at-home policy. I'm not sick of the road or sick of eating in good restaurants around the country. I like to travel. |
Drums usually seem to tune themselves. |
Good times don't last long sometimes. |
Dad and mom would have preferred that I be a doctor, a lawyer, a scientist, or a great humanitarian. |
