Tags: Life, Try, WhileI think we as a band, as individuals, understand that all popular music stems from blues and jazz and even pop, but rock 'n' roll especially comes from blues.
Tags: Music, Rock, UnderstandI'm compelled to paint nearly every day. I just felt like making a painting, went out and bought paints and a canvas. Now it fulfills me creatively when I'm not doing music: it's something you can do by yourself and it's totally yours. It's a great adjunct to my life.
Tags: Great, Life, MusicIn the late '70s, I had a band - the David Johansen band, for lack of a better name - and I started collecting, not records, but tapes from people I knew who had jump-blues records.
Tags: Band, Knew, StartedSometimes I've found that by getting into a certain drag, or a certain feeling, you can cast off your mortal coil and really do something. I don't know if it's important, but it's something. It's entertainment.
Tags: Feeling, Off, SometimesThe stuff that I dig, it's usually got a soulful component to it. A singer that I really like. I might not understand the language that they're singing in, but I'm really communing with this person.
Tags: Language, Might, UnderstandYou know when you read that someone has to leave a show or a tour because they had 'nervous exhaustion'? Well, I had one of those and discovered that I was quite close to death. I always assumed that my lifestyle was going to take me at an early age, but when it was actually occurring I was, 'Not yet!' I pulled back.
Tags: Age, Death, SomeoneYou know, when you're making a record, you come up with 15, 20 songs. Then they start to fall by the wayside as your interest wanes. It's kind of like a process of elimination to determine which songs wind up on the record.
Tags: Making, Start, WindI've been around the block a couple of times, and the guy I am now is the guy I like to be.
Tags: Couple, Guy, TimesI still do a lot of shows with Brian Koonin, but we haven't had a full band lately.
Tags: Band, Full, ShowsWhen you're a kid, you have this feeling like you're indestructible. Your mortality doesn't even occur to you. But as time goes by, you realize, 'I better cut this out or that out if I want to continue to exist.'
Tags: Feeling, Realize, TimeAs I recall, my life as a child was so all-consuming that I barely had time to consider the future.
Tags: Future, Life, TimeI don't really like to sit around the house listening to my own records. They're not that good.
Tags: Good, House, ListeningI got arrested once on stage in Memphis for looking too much like Liza Minnelli.
Tags: Looking, Once, StageI mean, if you asked me what I'm going to be doing when I'm 85, I'd make a quick picture in my mind and, well, I'll be singing.
Tags: Mean, Mind, PictureI'm afraid of me.
