I Can Listen To All Different Sorts

Many People In The Neighborhood Liked Hip-hop And House Music, And I Couldn't Play That. You Can't Perform That On Guitar Or Drums, Which Was What I Was Playing, At The Time. But, I Got So Much From Mariachi Bands That Were Constantly Playing In The Neighborhood.

I Know Where I'm Going Musically. I Can See My Pattern And I'm Going Much Slower Than I Thought I'd Be Going.

The Blues Appealed To Me, But So Did Rock. The Early Rockabilly Guitarists Like Cliff Gallup And Scotty Moore Were Just As Important To Me As The Blues Guitarists.

We Were Never A Band That Did 96 Takes Of The Same Thing. I Had Heard Of Groups That Were Into That Kind Of Excess Around That Time. They'd Work On The Same Track For Three Or Four Days And Then Work On It Some More, But That's Clearly Not The Way To Record An Album. If The Track Isn't Happening And It Creates Some Sort Of Psychological Barrier, Even After An Hour Or Two, Then You Should Stop And Do Something Else. Go Out: Go To The Pub, Or A Restaurant Or Something. Or Play Another Song.

I Don't Like Being Stuck In One Situation, Day To Day.
