california hometown britain
Britain, and my hometown, will always be with me wherever I go and whatever I do - but I prefer to live in California.
who-i-am people needs
OK, I've had a life of sort of success, some people know who I am but a lot of people don't. I feel the need to change that still.
suicide thinking way
I don't think Jimi committed suicide in the conventional way. He just decided to exit when he wanted to.
made
Blues was made for the recessed.
writing kissing thinking
Eventually I would like to reach the stage where I don't have to write about love and kisses and all that stuff. I wish I could write about really ultimate things. That's where I think all of us want to go, really. All the groups seem to be heading towards a kind of pop music that deals with ultimate things.
lines things-change
Everything changes and, somewhere along the line, I'm changing with it.
animal views point-of-view
From my personal point of view, the Animals are dead. They killed themselves.
animal names careers
I look upon The Animals, they were a great band initially, we left our mark, but thing was it was a band that couldn't live up to its name so I soldiered on. On one level, it was devastating for a while. On another level, maybe I should thank them for helping me make my own way in my own career.
another-life performances
I have a life beyond performance. I love it, and it probably is the better part of my life, but I do have another life.
years battle golden
I feel great that I've been given a chance in the golden years of my life. To me, it's the last battle, and I've been given a chance to get stuck in some good armament, some good power, and there's a chance that now I can finish off my working years with my head held high.
memories war animal
I did have a life before the Animals, and I'm trying constantly to prove that I have a life after the Animals. People tend to forget that I was the frontman with War for two years. People sort of have compartmental memories.
silly kids idols
Have you seen 'American Idol' lately? I'm sure that some kids somewhere at this moment are thrashing themselves silly over what they call 'Rock n' Roll.
california people water
Having lived in the arid deserts of Southern California since the 1970s, my interest in water conservation is a very personal concern. Water! The source of life! Some people are squandering the world's most precious resource while others have too little clean water to drink.
memorial-day men world
On Memorial Day, I don't want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live.
