 Getting to play the blues has been transcendant for me. I can't say if my finest hour is yet to come, you want to make a dent in this world, well I do anyway. |
| Michael Sunday and I are the original members of the band. We first did it just for charities and benefit concerts. It was very ad-hoc, and before we knew it, we were really a band. We went through several drummers and guitarists before we were happy with the line up. |
| I like to listen the blues and some classical. |
| It was so much fun to do, play the blues and then play a Monkees' set on the same night. |
| Oh, the most fun thing I've ever been asked to autograph was breasts. |
| Elvis deserves a lot of credit for bringing the blues to middle America, not the Vegas stuff. The early stuff, The Sun records, and the first few RCA records. He was wonderful, he had the power, the drive, and he was so dedicated to his music. |
| The groupies are far more real now than there were then. |
| Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins. |
| Original Monkees' songs were produced very thinly, on purpose. |
| The Monkees was a straight sitcom, we used the same plots that were on the other situation comedies at the time. So the music wasn't threatening, we weren't threatening. |
| I did as well as I knew how and have nothing to be ashamed of. |
| Ringo is one of the world's true humans. The only one out those four guys, who did not have an agenda. Ringo was just into the music. |
| No, in 1968 I still wanted to be a Pop Star, and be about the music. Now, I want to be just about the music. |
| Hitting a baseball well, as in cricket, is a very rare skill. One of most difficult things to do in the world to do, hitting a ball coming at you at ninety miles an hour with a round bat. Wonderful to watch. |
| Yes, I am a good singer. |
| Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away. |
| I get to play a scorching lead guitar, and there's not much that's more fun than that. |
| Every country has it trade offs. |
| Shoe Suede Blues is ten years old this year. The Band consists of four members. |
| We did very little improvisation on camera, and once in a while we did. |
