the most moving experience of my life. It was an awe-inspiring moment.

After the group got real popular, Fender asked us to endorse their instruments. I think the deal was they'd give them to you then you'd let them print ads and stuff like that. This was around 1962.

I can tell you that the current process is fraught with uncertainty. I like this proposal very much.

It's fun to use a capo 'cause you can get the strings to really have a bell-like sound. It's a thing I got into when I was writing songs. When I started to really write a lot, I would use the capo to try different keys and different combinations.

Sure, we've had our fair share of ups and downs, but I don't know if we've had more than any other rock band... we just have a way of getting ourselves into hot water.

I haven't talked to Brian in a while. I don't even know his current phone number.
