American - Musician | February 28, 1957 -
People come up to me and tell me how they were in a dark place and our music helped them out. It's mind-blowing. It's not just 'Rock Lobster' or 'Love Shack' - there's much more there.

It's incredible to have people come up to you and tell you that you changed their life when their life was really, really dark. That you brought some light in. You also learn that it's OK to be a weirdo and not follow the rules.

I came to work one day, and Ricky was playing music on his guitar, just snickering. He played me the riff that turned out to be 'Rock Lobster,' and it was hilarious. He was just trying to be funny. His guitar style made it moodier, and it really is a driving song, but it does have that funny humor to it.

With the solo stuff, it's like starting over from scratch. It's rolling up your sleeves and getting down to work.

We're playing small clubs and doing it all in a van. I have management, and they've done a good job of getting our tour plan together, but we're still having to go and rent the vehicles and all the little things you need to do. You really have to watch your budget.
