I Would Rather Feel Things

I'm Sure I Would Have Been Considered A More Significant Artist If I Was A Singer-songwriter. It's Just Not The Way I Roll. I Love Being A Curator And A Musicologist. People Write Me Letters And Thank Me For Turning Them On To Fred Mcdowell And Sippie Wallace, And That's Partly My Job This Time Around.

The Fifth Member Of My Band Is My Non-profit Work.

Pat Benatar Might Need A Rock Band, But I Can Just Sit With A Blues Guitar For An Hour And A Half And Do Folk Songs And Great Contemporary Ballads, And Not Many People Can Pull That Off.

I Never Saw Music In Terms Of Men And Women Or Black And White. There Was Just Cool And Uncool.

I'm Happy To Have Been A Positive Influence.
