Tags: Dead, Grateful, GuitarMichael is the kind of guy who has rhythm; he has rock'n'roll in his soul, whether he really plays it or not.

Tags: Actually, Him, VoiceActually, the year anniversary of what you just heard, my son Grahame and I are going to be in a play together, and I'm acting for the first time in front of an audience that doesn't consist of a high school drama class.
Tags: School, Time, TogetherAnd that format was - we'd been using that format, I guess, since the late '70s, and it was starting to get very predictable. In other words, certain songs would surface in the same points in the set every so often; it was like rotation.

Tags: Hurt, Seriously, TopNot that there weren't great shows, and not that there wasn't plenty of fine music played. It's just that the consistency and the height of where we could take it, with the help of the audience, was less, I felt, in the '90s.
Tags: Great, Help, MusicOf course, we didn't survive to play all the way through the '90s, so I can say that - as I said, everybody in the band was aware of this, and we trying to figure out ways to make it different.
Tags: Everybody, Said, TryingSo, in the course of events, I had an opportunity to come in contact with Colin Matthews, through the Rex Foundation sponsoring recordings of various music that was being recorded over there.
