Some people have a hard time explaining rock 'n' roll. I don't think anyone can really explain rock 'n' roll. Well maybe Pete Townshend, but that's okay. Rock 'n' roll is a lifestyle and a way of thinking... and it's not about money and popularity. Although, some money would be nice. But it's a voice that says, "Here I am... and **** you if you can't understand me." And one of these people is gonna save the world. And that means that rock 'n' roll can save the world... all of us together. And the chicks are great. But what it all comes down to is that thing. The indefinable thing when people catch something in your music.

Is it that hard to make us look cool?
He was never a person, he was a journalist!
I get people off! And I find the one guy who isn't getting off, and I MAKE him get off. Actually, that you can print!
I've studied the entire history of music. And for the most part, the good stuff is the popular stuff. Show me a guy who says he doesn't want to be popular, and I'll show you a scared guy. It's easy to say popularity sucks, because that allows you to forgive yourself if you suck. And I don't forgive myself. Do you?
Scenes with Jeff Bebe
3 scenesRussell. Jeff. Ed. Larry. I really love your band. I think the song "Fever Dog" is a big step forward for you guys. And you guys producing it yourselves, instead of Glyn Johns, that was the right thing to do. And Russell, Russell, the guitar sound... is incendiary. Incendiary. Way to go.
Well, don't stop there!
Yeah, come back here! I'm incendiary, too, man!
I can't say any more with the writer here.
No, no, no. You can trust him, you can say whatever you want.
I work just as hard or harder than anybody on that stage. You know what I do? I connect. I get people off. I look for the guy who isn't getting off, and I make him get off.
Actually, that you can print!
Can we just skip the vibe, and go straight to us laughing about this?
Yeah, okay.
Because I can see by your face you want to get into it.
How can you tell? I'm just one of the out-of-focus guys.
