Date of Birth21 August 1951
I heard the Beatles and the Stones, and Mom bought me an electric guitar. I played lead for four years and then switched to bass. One day someone suggested that I should sing, so I sheepishly stepped up to the microphone and the rest is rock history.
I thank God for his many blessings he has given me, but money and prestige are not what it's about. I seek spiritual progression.
I was very famous as a young man and I celebrated both the good and bad times with drinking.
I think the greatest records we've ever heard, from Zeppelin to Purple to Sabbath to The Who, were all recorded in the studio live.
Some people might go to the gym and swim laps, but I write songs. Every single day, I write something new and record it.
