I've known Jason since he was about 18, and he got in touch with me through our mutual friend Phil Carson, who I knew when he was an executive at Atlantic Records, Foreigner's original label. |
In these circumstances, it was left to me to consider whether the music that was FOREIGNER should be abandoned to history, leaving me to change direction and start a new venture, or whether it was something that I wanted to keep pursuing and enjoying. I'm happy to say that the vision of FOREIGNER as once more being a major force in Rock music prevailed, and I now am intent on making that happen. |
The band is something I'm very proud of, and obviously I'm very attached to it. There's a certain uniqueness to Foreigner. |
The enthusiasm is incredible. Foreigner really is my legacy. It's the most successful thing I've done in my life. It's sort of my baby. I thought maybe I'd give it a shot, get a really great band together and see how it goes. |
Urgent. |
We're starting with a clean slate. I feel like fresh ideas are coming back. It's a new beginning. |
