song fall rain
I like lots of songs, and I find it quite interesting to do [cover songs] from time to time. My first solo hit was in 1973, the [Bob] Dylan song "A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall."
song mean bored
It's good having a lot of different songs to choose from to do the show. It means you don't get bored of doing it in one particular genre.
giving perspective world
Much as I love the northeast, I didn't want to spend my life there. I wanted to experiment. Savour everything you can while you're here! Touring, seeing the world... That in itself gives you a different perspective.
new-york boston wish
In New York, you couldn't wish for a nicer audience, or in L.A., Chicago, Boston. But when you get into secondary markets, they don't have a clue.

While it's a great indulgence, it's also very interesting to have three bass players on the same track.

Words can be very powerful. I find them very difficult.

I can never predict what's going to happen.
girl rapper high-heels
All those rappers, they're the only glamorous people working in music now. They dress up in these chains of gold, cars, girls and this and that, high-heeled shoes.
song art writing
But when I started writing songs, I stopped painting completely, and the only art things I do are connected to the career, like album sleeves and, to some extent, posters and things like that.

I didn't really want to give up music.

As you get older, you get a bit more serious.
soccer football stars
I suppose young people think football is glamorous - soccer - it's big money and the stars of it, they look good and have a great big house and a huge Ferrari.
schedules littles interviews
I don't do interviews at all when I'm on tour, so this time, on a day off, I'll do that kind of thing a little bit. I don't do big promotion schedules, not when I'm touring.
I like L.A., but I shouldn't live there.
