I pay attention to my favorite songwriters, and they're way smarter and way better at writing songs than I could ever be. You know, like Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Randy Newman are all just phenomenally gifted singers and songwriters; however, none of them have really been able to create real greatness in their older years compared to what they were doing in their 20s and 30s [...]. I guess it's a cycle, it's almost impossible to write music that crushes and touches people's hearts in that way once you've made it. Once you can afford a house, another house over there and another over there, it's like that weird fine line of comfort changing you [...]. But it gives me hope when I hear a Paul McCartney song that he did in the last couple of years that reminds me of who he is deep down inside. Not that he's got anything to prove, he's already given the world more great songs than anybody else I can think of, but it makes me happy that he's still able to do it.
È stato un uomo psichedelico.

Los Angeles put a spell on me as a kid with its energy, and I think it does that to people. There's something about the desert, the electricity, the palm trees, just the promise that anything is possible. That hit me like a ton of bricks, and by 1973 I made my way to L.A., which was a completely different animal at that time relative to 2015. But there is that thread that it hasn't lost, which is, this is where you come to explore your dream; whether or not the dream comes true, you fail miserably or somewhere in between, or you find another dream you didn't even know was waiting for you, that thread maintains. I give credit to the enchanting vibe of this place, the inherent nature of Los Angeles and its valley, its mountains, its desert and its coyotes. It's kind of a magical trickery.
