Musician

I love movies and I'm interested in watching how they're made and everything.

Billy's an interesting guy. He's got a lot of varied interests.

I have no hobbies, other than I travel a little and shoot skeet once in a while. I don't even hunt anymore.

Today, there's so many different types of music out there that it's difficult to keep up. Things do change; it's only natural.

I think everybody would admit that we've got a sense of humor.

The women really seemed to like 'Rough Boy.'

I just like to play and I'm always ready to be back onstage.

I think life is there for you to grab it and be positive. Just look for the good everywhere.

If we ever have a problem, it's not comin' up with ideas. It's stoppin' us.

People got to know us from hearing us live because there wasn't much publicity or radio airplay for a long time.

I'd go over to friends' houses and ask them to put on some Howlin' Wolf, and they wouldn't know what I was talking about. Then, when they would come over to my house, I'd play them some blues. Their parents wouldn't let them come back. The blues were still called 'race records' back then.

Country music, like rock or blues, can move over into a lot of different areas.

I remember when our first album came out. After one of our gigs, we went across the border to Mexico and the band in the bar where we were was doing covers of our songs. I don't think they understood a word they were singing but they did the songs perfectly.

Basically we're a blues oriented rock 'n' roll band... easy to listen to.

Vegas to me is a place like Hollywood or New York where you can walk around and people recognize you but it's like, hey, that's cool, and then we go on with our lives.

Through the career, planned or unplanned - usually unplanned - we've taken different turns. And it's culminated in a worldwide following that's pretty substantial.

I don't know if it was a single-blade or one of those straight-edge razors, but I used to play in bands that were, like, show bands and would play different clubs, and, in those days, I would go to the barber twice a week.

I love the beards and the cars and the girls and the different guitars, but I'm not at all caught up in the image thing.

Yeah, playing live for me is the essence of what we do.

Listen to really old blues guys and how they weren't allowed to sing about what they meant; they alluded to things. I find that style amusing, and I think it's a little harder to write.
