Was
there any doubt in your mind that you would work with music?
Was there an alternative career that might have been the day job?

During the fifties, the focus of an aspiring musician wouldn't be so much on making a record as getting on stage and performing?
Real Audio
Your
song writing career has spanned such a wide change
in the way that music is recorded and performed. Do you feel
that there is a different way of writing a song now than before, when
music was a strictly live experience?
Real Audio
So, around this time you had your first record deal?
Real Audio
I still have to pin you down to your first recording deal?

There are quite a few notables playing on that CBGB's Christmas record.

It was your idea to do Mud to a different drum in the early eighties.
Real Audio
Do
you think the songs on your album are different in their new
forms? For example, Mud
is a powerful dance record and Rock
'n' Roll Jackson uses
electronics. Do you think they are the same songs or do you
think they have changed?
Real Audio
What
do you think are the connections between your
music and, say, a raucous band at CBGB's? Do you think they
are part of the same musical spectrum?
Real Audio
You
mentioned that your music doesn't fit. Perhaps, a few years ago, that was a very big disadvantage because there was no slot available for it. Do
you see things widening to the point where any type
of music which makes people sing, dance, laugh or cry will be accessible,
or do you think there will always be streams of types of music?
Real Audio
The
final question is one which you must have been asked many times.
I suspect the answer is a moving target: "If you were
starting out today as an aspiring musician, how would you do it?
