I think the basic thought process was that, when the offer came to us, after doing the rest of our touring for the rest of the year, it would be a good idea to play for a basic, real, hard rock audience that we haven't played to yet.

We have caught the very smart (criminals) who thought they were smarter than the rest of us, as well as those who couldn't commit a crime if they studied it. I've had a lot of satisfying cases, where we caught fugitives who had been gone for a long time and people who hurt other people. You get a sense of professional satisfaction from serving the public.

Every single thing I've done has made me who I am today. The only thing I would take back is hurting the people that I love, and the people who I love have already read my lyrics and heard my apologies. But the rest of the world, I don't need to apologize to them. My life doesn't have anything to do with the rest of the world.

Prior to Katrina, we really didn't care how the rest of the world thought of us. But it has become a practical problem - the perception of New Orleans.

Right on, ... I always thought of us as 'All for one, one for all,' like the Three Musketeers. There's an abiding camaraderie that pleases everybody. It's the life of the group.

As horrible as jail was, there were some first-rate guys in there.
