You look at Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Bob Seger. All they ever wanted to do was go out there and entertain, and I'm the same way.

I'm not trying to stay in the same place and I'm not trying to compete with what's currently in fashion. That would be dishonest. But, at the same time, I'm different and the music reflects that to some degree.

It's very important to give back to the community and do anything you can.

I'm younger than Rod Stewart and Bruce Springsteen, but I'm still getting up there in age.

I've always loved the blues, John Lee Hooker, Janis Joplin, Hendrix.

I love L.A. for the beach and stuff, that's the reason I live here.
