Led Zeppelin, they still rule the airwaves. I hear Zeppelin every day, and they've been around since '69. So the people who grew up with that still listen to that, and now their children listen to it.
I guess a good song is a good song is a good song, ya know.
They said my friends were just an unruly mob, and I should get a hair cut and get a new job.
There is no doubt in my mind who is number one - I have always been number one.
Not to this extent but from day one I had an awful lot of confidence when I got started.
When people come to the show they think we are a legendary band because they hear us on Classic Rock radio all the time. It is psychological. That's okay - I'm down with that.
Rounder Records decided to call the album Move It On Over, much to my chagrin but they knew what they were doing. It took off and to this day I can't figure out why.
I was a big J. Geils fan, a Steppenwolf fan and a Savoy Brown fan.
I didn't live in the world of disco or the world of the Eagles.
There are now grandmothers and grandfathers coming to see us because they are of that age, they grew up in the '50s and '60s and they bring their sons and their daughters to hear the songs they heard when they were young.
You can't rely on luck. I've had some stages in my career where I've said we're going to wing it, and we've always ended up in trouble.
I drink alone. Yeah, with nobody else. You know when I drink alone, I prefer to be by myself.
Every morning just before breakfast I don't want no coffee or tea, just me and my good Buddy Wieser, that's all I ever need.
Everybody funny, now you funny too.
