I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.
But then I go through long periods where I don't listen to things, usually when I'm working. In between the records and in between the writing I suck up books and music and movies and anything I can find.
Plus, you know, when I was young, there was a lot of respect for clowning in rock music - look at Little Richard. It was a part of the whole thing, and I always also believed that it released the audience.
Some of the greatest blues music is some of the darkest music you've ever heard.
