I think that his performance on that song is a real tribute to Bonham.

Hey, let's sing the tribute song.

It's a tribute to our defense when we can have this kind of offensive performance and still win against a good team like Mercer.

[But the song isn't a tribute to Johnny Cash's musical talent.] I was influenced by Johnny as an individual, ... He wasn't a staple in my musical existence. It was his awesome personality.

There isn't anything we are striving to attain, but we want to be able to play a string of two-night stands instead of our staple one-night stands.

A lot of times our original compositions have a harmonic approach and rigorous clarity that is far more a part of rock tradition than playing jazz standards.
