I always loved Little Anthony and the Imperials. They were like the precursors of the Temptations. I loved their music.
The first session I did with the Stones was an accident. I just happened to be wandering down the hallway of the same studio.
Sometimes, I play a round of extremely poor golf.
I played in the high school band. I was the one baritone saxophone out of 80 other people. No one could tell whether I was hittin the right notes or the wrong notes.
It's pretty scripted on the road: very organised and compartmentalised, and that's the way it has to be with so many people involved in a Stones tour.
