We've all been friends for a long time. And when the vibe's good we really have a lot of fun with each other.
certainly george met obama
I've met Bill Clinton, Obama a couple of times... I certainly didn't meet George Bush, and wouldn't want to.
I use a lot of tunings because I listen to a lot of jazz.
atlantic companies good lawyers loved music people ran record run
When it all started, record companies - and there were many of them, and this was a good thing - were run by people who loved records, people like Ahmet Ertegun, who ran Atlantic Records, who were record collectors. They got in it because they loved music... Now, record companies are run by lawyers and accountants.
beg dishes front guy high job permission santa stage tables time took washing
I started singing in coffeehouses when I was still in high school, in Santa Barbara. I took a job washing dishes and busing tables in the coffeehouse, so I could be there, and would beg permission to sing harmony with the guy who was singing onstage. That was the first time I ever got on a stage in front of people.
love neil stills time
I love Stephen Stills and Neil Young dearly. We talk all the time. We see each other.
gave good player terrific
I gave a Collings dreadnought to a young guitar player in the Valley where I live because he didn't have a good acoustic, and he's a terrific player.
Being a hippy was the most natural thing in the world to me.

I gave up bread, and I've lost a bunch of weight, which is very good because I'm diabetic.

I'm an inveterate bookstore wanderer. I read constantly, so I love a good bookstore. I can't help it.

Norah Jones is a breath of fresh air. Norah Jones can sing and play. She's got some talent. I was totally ecstatic that that girl got noticed, because she's wonderful.
business complete found funny guy hard money neither nor rich wish worth
I do see things that are funny on the net. I Googled myself the other day and found out that I was worth $250m, and that I was the highest-paid guy in show business! I wish so hard it was true. It is, of course, the complete opposite. I'm neither rich nor do I make a lot of money.
I'm older than I'd like and I'm creaky, but I'm doing alright.
bought collect good guitars johnny people played rare
I don't collect the way other people do. Some people collect rare guitars, like, 'I have a '54 Strat worth $50,000.' And I don't collect the way Nash does. Nash has Duane Allman's guitar and Johnny Cash's guitar. I bought guitars because they sounded good. I played them, they sounded unbelievably good, and I couldn't resist.
