Well all of Chuck's children are out there playing his licks, get into your kicks. Come back baby, rock and roll never forgets.

I can only get my drummer in the winter; he plays with Grand Funk all summer.
You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it's really fun to go there. But they're not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It's too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it's distracting to me.

I love working with different musicians in the studio, that's a real joy working with someone for the first time.
I was a runner, a failed quarterback, third-string quarterback, but in track I was a 2-miler.
I'd rather make music than tour.
It took me a long time to learn how to write a good song.
