american-musician both george kinda liked looking needed
When we got with George, he didn't care what was happening. He liked how crazy we were looking and dressing. I kinda liked being with George more so at the time, because George let us do what we wanted to do. But I needed both lessons.
american-musician instead life
To me, you go through things like that and you learn from it. You add it on to your life, to try to make your life better. Instead of dogging people, learn something from it. And keep stepping.
american-musician ball fit glad whatever
It's a whole other ball game and I am glad that I fit into that space where, whatever it is that you want to do and you are doing as long as you are happy with it, then you know What the Heck!
american-musician brash crowd hanging hip older
We were brash young fellows'. I was always hanging with the older crowd anyway. The musicians were the Hip Cats, and I was hanging with them anyway. I Just started out real early.
american-musician care plant wait
You have to get up and plant the seed and see if it grows, but you can't just wait around, you have to water it and take care of it.
approach forgotten great listen
When I play with other people, I always have to approach it differently. It's a give-and-take thing. You have to listen to other people's ideas, and that's a great thing. We've kind of forgotten how to do that.
always-trying people boots
But I'm always trying to plan ahead too and in doing so, and in working on this album, I've met a lot people that I hope to be involved with, on their records and in their situations.
smart phones decision
We are the greatest computers in this world, but now we've created the smart phone which is smarter than us now, but we're still making dumb decisions. We have given our creations more power than we have, and that to me is dumb.
brother player guitar
My brother was very important to me. And he played guitar. So that's what I wanted to be. I wanted to be a guitar player. So he was the first one to inspire me to do something with my life. And I was so glad that he was there.
ocean taken air
It's very important that people realize: the air is being taken away, the oceans are being taken away, the room is being taken away, but we're so worried about gas prices that we don't even see this stuff.
japan trying boots
Well actually, we are working on the live album from the shows in Japan. I'm trying to get that finished.
artist boots stuff
I've thought maybe of getting younger artists out doing stuff, like I used to do a lot of. I don't wanna do it day in and day out like I used to, but I still wanna do it.
