I'm not a flowerchild or anything like that... whatever it was.
I don't want to scream 'Immigrant Song' every night for the rest of my life, and I'm not sure I could.
There's nothing new under the sun - you just get a can of paint out.

Each album comes from definitely a different period in the evolution of each of us individually as creators and the role that we take in life. The external stimuli changed... so the songs are full of lots of different meanings.

Soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street.
I listen to the crowds [laughs]... I like Blind Melon very much.
The past is a stepping stone, not a millstone.
