Pop music is aspirin and the blues are vitamins.
Oh, the most fun thing I've ever been asked to autograph was breasts.
Michael Sunday and I are the original members of the band. We first did it just for charities and benefit concerts. It was very ad-hoc, and before we knew it, we were really a band. We went through several drummers and guitarists before we were happy with the line up.
I have never done Cult TV before, the convention was good. It gives the fans a chance to meet the celebrities. Connect with the guy that used to be a bunch of coloured dots on your TV screen.
I don't know about friends, but what time I spent with The Beatles they were very courteous to me.
I am a still friend with Dave Crosby, he's a weird duck but I like him a lot.
Getting to play the blues has been transcendant for me. I can't say if my finest hour is yet to come, you want to make a dent in this world, well I do anyway.
Put you energy into music. If it fails you, you can become an accountant or a dentist. And then if you become a dentist or an accountant, it's too late to become a musician afterwards.
Hitting a baseball well, as in cricket, is a very rare skill. One of most difficult things to do in the world to do, hitting a ball coming at you at ninety miles an hour with a round bat. Wonderful to watch.
Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.
The groupies are far more real now than there were then.
I get to play a scorching lead guitar, and there's not much that's more fun than that.
Only one of us would usually sing lead. Which most of the time was, Mickey or Dave. They thought it was perfectly a natural routine, because Mickey and Dave saw themselves as TV actors.
It was so much fun to do, play the blues and then play a Monkees' set on the same night.
My most favourite gigs that ever happened were solo, before The Monkees ever happened.
Original Monkees' songs were produced very thinly, on purpose.
The Monkees was a straight sitcom, we used the same plots that were on the other situation comedies at the time. So the music wasn't threatening, we weren't threatening.
Ringo is one of the world's true humans. The only one out those four guys, who did not have an agenda. Ringo was just into the music.
Shoe Suede Blues is ten years old this year. The Band consists of four members.
