again both brad couple denver festival happened invited jam john labor local music next performed ran realize rehearsed sing stage supper
We had a little jam session, and it didn't take long to realize we both like the music of John Denver. I ran into Brad again in Cheyenne over Labor Day. They have a thing at the festival where you sing a 30-minute set for your supper at a local restaurant. We just happened to be scheduled back-to-back with Brad, and he invited us on stage to do a couple of Denver songs. The next day we rehearsed a 45-minute set and performed it on stage.
business music rarely
I still like to play the guitar, but I rarely have anything to do with the music business these days. I mean, there is no music business anymore, is there?
love music
I love '50s music, all that stuff from the '50s.
band love musical
It's not every day you get to create a band like the Sex Pistols, and what it changed, on a musical level. I love that we've done something that was important.
attention culture effort git hates music twitter
In '77 there was no Internet, there was no Twitter or Facebook, and I think that, without being some old git who hates anything new, people's attention spans are too short. Back then you had 'Top Of The Pops' and 'Melody Maker,' and you had to make the effort to go to a show so that you absorbed the culture of music.
fair happens lawyers mad money musicians office share stupid time watching
We didn't have lawyers and accountants. No one was watching out for our money. We'd go to the office and get money and go on our way. I was 19-20 years old then. I was stupid. I didn't know any better. We weren't getting our fair share of the money. That happens to young musicians all the time. It makes me mad when I think how stupid we were.

We played toe-to-toe with them. The girls played their hearts out and took the No. 2-ranked team in the state toe-to-toe. We could just as easily have won it.

We have a good goalie, good defenders, good midfielders and good forwards. We never had those before. We have a full team now.

It is essential that older people are treated as a group with special and particular needs in these emergency situations as they usually get forgotten when disaster strikes.
album finished produced
I produced the Buckcherry album and I just finished a band called American Pearl on Wind-Up Records. That's Creed's label. They're pretty rocking. Now I'm looking for another band to produce.
call drift shopping sudden wrong
I never read. I've never read one book... I just can't do it. Something's wrong with me. I have what they call now is 'ADD,' like I'll read and all of a sudden I'll be thinking about shopping or... I'm not there. I drift off. I get crazy, so I don't even bother.

When I was in the Sex Pistols, I listened to Boston. But I couldn't tell anybody, you know. I'd get lynched.

The Sex Pistols was a part of my life. Just a small part.
