And looking at today's music scene I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy.

The thing that's cool about the recording booth is that it's so perfunctory so cut-to-the-chase.

I did find some time to go to a record store and check out 'Headstrong' actually in the racks. It was pretty cool I never thought I'd see my own CD sitting there with everyone else's. I made my Mom take lots of pics!

I think sometimes I guess you see records say you want to get there and use that as motivation. In a way it's kind of cool if there is a possibility to rewrite history and be up there with the greats of Olympic history.

I don't mind The Boss. I think he's an honest guy. I have some of his records not all of them. I've met a couple of the E-Street guys and they seem really cool.

Well we didn't have our original drummer on our last record. And most of that album was not played as a band in the studio. It was mostly the world of computers and overdubs. There was very few things played live or worked out as a band.

I'm really anti-option so computers have been my nightmare with recording. I don't want endless tracks I want less tracks. I want decisions to be made.

Computers have virtually replaced tape recorders.

The thing I do really is a communication with audiences more than any achievement through records.

In a way song writing can almost be detrimental because suddenly you find an outlet that is a kind of cheating. You don't need to have direct communication. You can say 'I can't describe it to you but I will record it and send it to you.'
