So, I guess you’ve got me to start off your day. Yeah. We played last night with Orgy and I’m a little hung over (laughs), but we’ll do fine. I’ve actually got to go to practice pretty quick. Does it feel like starting with a whole new band with the name change and new album? […]

He is not a folkie or a bubble-gum pop star, not heavy metal or even alternative, but a rare combination of homogenous music styles.
