The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Phil Spector. Those were my idols.

I'm doing good. I've had a slight nervous breakdown in the '60s. I got through that. And I got through the '70s. And I was in a doctor's program during the '80s and then I met Melinda and we've been together ever since. I've got a happy life.

I believe that music is God's voice.
