What’s the big deal about still working? Retirement age is sixty-five, and that’s at a normal job – and I ain’t there yet.

But I’ve always felt very comfortable on stage, even if I screw up. It always felt like a dog, this is my turf, piss around it. While I’m here, nothing else can happen. All I can do is screw up. Otherwise, have a good time.

The only things Mick and I disagree about is the band, the music and what we do.

The idea of retiring is like killing yourself. It’s almost like Hari Kari. I intend to live to a 100 and go down in history.
