So I was releasing this tension with my solo albums, but I didn't want to play music just for money. |
The first records I heard were from Dizzy Gillespie and people like that. |
The last ten years have been the best of my life. |
The Rolling Stones' recorded legacy is unfortunately similar to that of many other rock stars of the 1960s -- a great burst of creativity that tapers off into a stretch (eventually decades long) of unremarkable (and sometimes downright awful) recorded work. |
The Stones always tried to do the odd smaller gig when they could. |
The Stones introduced all these young people to the blues music, and I'm doing the same thing. |
The Stones used to do that a bit. Sometimes we would pull a song that was ten years old out and put it on the album. |
The whole idea behind the band was to play music that we love. |
There are a lot of songs that I absolutely love what I did. |
There are things that I am very proud of and there are things that you are not so proud of. But I think that applies to any musician. |
This small tour, playing clubs, where the music is best, and where the music was actually written for is not a way to make money. |
We courted adversity, took risks, and drove mothers crazy. |
We don't sell so many records. When I make the album, I pay the musicians. |
We usually do things a bit more jazzy. |
When you pick it up you realize that you are the first person to touch that object since someone left it there 800 years ago. |
