• Every man has to settle down eventually. You know why you gotta settle
  down eventually? Because you don't want to be the old guy in the club.
  You know what I'm talking about. Every club you go into, there's always
  some old guy. He ain't really old, just a little too old to be in the
  club.

• I see friends who are in different genres of music, and they say they're so burnt playing the same stuff every night. That's why you see a country act wanting to go out and play an old classic rock song. But what cracks me up is that they all want to be Jimmy Buffett. I can't figure that out.

• This is a record I ended up having to make to get on to the next stage of my life. What I did was a desperate thing to do. I'm aware of the fact that it was irrational. I didn't mean to make it sound like it was my master plan. The tour had even been going all right, but I was just kind of fed up with the situation as it was, playing the same old rock and roll crap that everyone goes through, the general moaning when you really should be grateful that you don't work in the checkout counter at the grocery.

As they grew musically the mere repetition of old rock and blues tunes became increasingly less satisfying.
