A little tough talk in the midst of a campaign or as part of a presidential debate cannot obscure a record of 30 years of being on the wrong side of defense issues.
It’s really important to be free and be open and honest about the things you want to do. Just ’cause you want to make a solo record or another record with another band, it doesn’t have to be an insult or a slight to the band you’ve been with for a long time.
Nowadays you can record on your laptop with Pro Tools, which I do quite often.
After that initial success, every chance we got we’d hire that remote recording truck and just record stuff at the Whisky because it was so inexpensive.
First of all, you needed a budget to do the video. The record companies would pick and choose who got videos.

I really didn’t have any plans to record prior to doing My Own Best Enemy.
The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant, as it were: Alma the Younger, Paul on the road to Damascus, Enos praying far into the night, King Lamoni.

Everything on this record is what I really wanted to say, and I’m back to being the poet I always thought I was.
I worked very hard on me and David’s record and I’m extremely proud of the record, as most people are who were involved with it. And, it’s been wonderfully received by people who like our kind of music, they think it’s something special, and so do I.
I have been with the record company and Tommy was there doing records with other people.
I’ve always had just enough success to buy me some more tour dates and another record.
We’ve gone further on this album, where we have a Big Band song, kind of a Sinatra-type song; we have a couple songs that have electronic music on them. We’ve got a couple rock songs, maybe a little heavier than what we’ve done. So the title ‘Jekyll & Hyde’ really covers the breadth of the record.
I don’t think the label cares about an album… People just want their number-one record.
When the whole fighting thing started, I never knew at the end it was going to be all about your record. I never had that mentality. I wanted to fight everybody.
In the very beginning, we went on tours with Rammstein in really small clubs. We didn’t even have a record out. We played in restaurants and pubs in the south of Germany.
I don’t ever land on an album title until I know exactly what’s going on the record, because you never know until it’s all said and done.
I don’t think radio is selling records like they used to. They’d hawk the song and hawk the artist and you’d get so excited, you’d stop your car and go into the nearest record store.
When you have the biggest record in the country, everybody wants you; everybody needs you, and they need you now.
I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him.

At the end of the day I have to please myself. And I’ve made a record to please myself.
If you’re thinking the road ahead is a little shorter than the one behind you, you’re thinking about trying to write a good song and hoping to make a decent record of it.
I have a studio in a barn at home – we rehearse there, we film there and we record there. It’s fun to hang out with my guys and see what comes out next.
That first record, I wrote before I had a record deal.
When I produce a record, I roll up my sleeves; I’m not one of those passive guys. I really get in there and make sure every note is measured. I tell the bass player, ‘You have to play it like this,’ or I tell the drummer, ‘It’s got to be like this.’
The Rockwell magazine cover was more a part of the American reality than a record of it.
I wrote a song on the record called ‘Flawed Design’ and it’s basically looking at that, and it was just exploring how everybody obviously has flaws. I think to embrace those flaws – enjoy them, embrace them – and actually be a real person is something that a lot of people struggle with, myself included.
Republicans and blacks had an unlikely alliance around ‘max black’ after the 1990 census. By concentrating black voters in some districts, the strategy elected a record number of black congressmen in 1992. But the remaining ‘bleached’ districts were more likely to elect white Republicans.
When I was up in New York, the first record my parents bought me was the Terror Squad record with ‘Lean Back.’

I did write a letter to the archdiocese who’d banned the song, Only the Good Die Young, asking them to ban my next record.
I feel like guys, girls, whatever it is, you just come out hoping to make the best record. You just try to have a conversation and just create what you’ve talked about. Whatever you find to fit the beat at the time, what the person is down for, wherever the beat takes you towards.
When I’m making my own record, it’s real work for me.
I’ve never made a dime from a record sale in the history of my record deal. I’ve been very happy with my sales, and certainly my audience has been very supportive. I make a living going out and playing shows.
Man, that record came out and was real big in Memphis. They started playing it, and it got real big. Don’t know why-the lyrics had no meaning.
We stuck the record head so it kept on recording over and over on top of itself and played keyboard notes into it to create this ghost repetition melody.
Got two kids; one’s a record producer who lives just up the road from me – great guitarist and piano player, too.
Few governments in the world, for example, praise human rights more ardently than does the government of France, and few have a worse record of supporting tyrants and killers.
The record business is dangerous to the health of bands and individuals, which is something I’m just now learning. But it’s not dangerous in any of the ways people think; it’s not that they try to make you compromise your art. That’s not the problem.
I thought my Beatles LPs sounded pretty good on a record player, but that was before I had heard a CD.
For us, we make a song, and if we like it, it goes on a record.
I have learned not to overlook the advantages of being me. From when I was a softball player, and I held the stolen bases record. I would slide into second with my prostheses, and the girl on the base could either step aside or meet two wooden sticks.
It has been extraordinary, wonderful, I’ve been three feet off the ground since I made that first record.

On my first album I was wearing a lot of guys pants, baggy clothes and stuff like that. I was 17 and I was a little tomboy. And you would never see me wearing a dress or heels on my first record.
When I create a song, I immediately think about what I’m going to wear when I perform that song. I think about the music video treatment and about how I’m going to look on stage when I perform the record. The connection is so obvious that it’s a single package. An outfit, to me, is almost a tool to express the music.
Music has always been a big part of Cheech & Chong’s career, so it’s just natural. You know, I was a musician before I met Cheech and had a record with Motown, and so I’ve got the cred.
I know he played on the last record but I don’t wake up in the middle of the night thinking of Eric Clapton.
I love loud music. I listen loud, and that’s part of how I’ve learned how to do this. Record softly and play back loud and a whole other thing happens.
The record business has been so unpleasant and so bad for so long.
I think there’s a lot of naivete and hubris within our mix of personalities. That’s probably our worst crime. I keep wondering what a ‘mature’ record means.

I always loved that old song ‘Banks of the Ohio’ – it was always such a man’s song, so I’ve always wanted to record it.
