| Quotes: |
I don't think that bands that make it on their first album are as strong as bands that don't: there is nowhere to go but down.
<br />
<hr>
My songs are like cheap Neil Young copies.
<br />
<hr>
[on his radio show "Vinyl Tap"] I kind of just go in and talk. So I'm not really dead-on correct when I mention the date when I met so-and-so - it might be June or it might be July--or January. I know it began with a J.
<br />

<br />
<hr>
When I pull into a city and I rent a car and it's Nashville, or it's London, or I'm driving in the taxi to the hotel, and on comes one of my songs, it's like, "'Oh my God, they're still playing these songs on the radio". And you still feel tearful and very grateful that somebody still likes these songs that you made up. |
