Between each album I try to gain a new insight that I didn't have before and perhaps write a song about something that I've written about before, but from a fresh viewpoint.

I don't mind doing two or three Eagles songs and playing the drums. I'm not one of those artists who's going to sit here and deny the past.

I'm blessed with a pretty good voice. So just sitting back there banging on the tubs wasn't enough.

I have a bad back partially from playing the drums and singing. I used to have to hold my body in such a position that my spine got out of alignment.
