I'm jamming 'Black Sabbath Vol. 4' all the time. Zappa's 'Cruising With Ruben & The Jets.' A lot of Gong lately. Some Hawkwind. The Residents' 'Duck Stab' is amazing. Some Fugs. Lots of stuff man. I'm pretty schizophrenic with records.

You can muck around with different guitars for certain bits but you have to have your own sound. That's your benchmark that's your sound. I also play a Black Beauty. It sounds amazing.

When I look into the crowd I see young and old black and white - it's amazing that I'm able to connect with so many different kinds of people.

In America Blackberry Farm in Tennessee is one of the most amazing hotels I've had the privilege of staying at.

As a young black boy it made me proud to see black leaders that did something amazing and made the world change.

We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone unaided by the ruling powers. White labor and the freed black men had their champions but where are ours?

I'd like to state that Spike Lee is not saying that African American culture is just for black people alone to enjoy and cherish. Culture is for everybody.

We were alone. Where I could not say hardly imagine. All was black and such a dense black that after some minutes my eyes had not been able to discern even the faintest glimmer.

Anybody under the age of forty knows hip-hop gospel and R&B pretty well and it's all a part of what we consider to be 'black music.' There is a natural synergy between the three.

I've spent as much as 30 grand on a watch but it's not about flaunting my wealth. I don't have many extravagances but watches are my biggest one. I must have 30 of them now. I've been collecting since the age of nine when I won a black TAG in a karting event.
