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.
american-musician brown coming extreme james learned stuff
Coming from the James Brown school, I had learned a lot of stuff before I got with George. It was from one extreme to the other.
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.
american-musician felt kinda nobody since
Since Warner Brothers, back in the day, I hadn't never really had nobody that I think that was there, that I kinda felt was working like my right arm.
american-musician following instead stay
That's pretty much what we try to do. Stay with that one instead of following the Jones, I just like to come up with my own stuff.

Everyone in the band pretty much knows that whatever they want to do I am there for them, if they need my help or not, I am there for them.
people boots records
I wanted to get my recording and become a musician again, work; with other people, do that kind of thing because I kind of got away from that for a while once we started happening, you know, selling records, sold out concerts.
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.

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.
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.

Well actually, we are working on the live album from the shows in Japan. I'm trying to get that finished.
creating boots max
I wanna keep creating those situations for myself so I don't have to be out front all the time. Then when I do have to be out front, I can do it to the max.
attitude men talking
Once you lose that musician part -not just the playing, I'm talking about musician attitude- then you're lost, man. Especially if you started out that way. It feels so good to be back, starting from the ground up.
