Well actually, we are working on the live album from the shows in Japan. I’m trying to get that finished.

BOOTSY COLLINSWhen you’re used to playing with people, when you’re in a band, then you’re used to playing with each other. People nowadays aren’t used to playing with each other because they don’t have to.
BOOTSY COLLINSSkid marks all across my brain, cause you’re leaving me with so much pain. I was pretty sure that you could be the one, now it is evident that it was hit and run.
BOOTSY COLLINSUsually when I’m out doing stuff, I’m just out in the wild, doing the wild thing. I don’t really get a chance to just chill out until I come here, in my creative space.
BOOTSY COLLINSIt’s very important that people realize: the air is being taken away, the oceans are being taken away, the room is being taken away, but we’re so worried about gas prices that we don’t even see this stuff.
BOOTSY COLLINSI wanted to get my recording and become a musician again, work; with other people, do that kind of thing because I kind of got away from that for a while once we started happening, you know, selling records, sold out concerts.
BOOTSY COLLINSThe smartphones and the computer separates everybody, makes you think that you don’t need nobody else.
BOOTSY COLLINSI used to draw stickmen with star glasses when I was at school. I didn’t realise that would end up being me! The whole idea was that the glasses had mirrors, and if a youngster looked at me, they’d see themselves. Everybody is a star.
BOOTSY COLLINSNowadays, it’s like two different arenas, recording and touring. When I started way back in the day, doing both was nothing, you didn’t have to think about it, the road and recording.
BOOTSY COLLINSWe were brash young fellows. I was always hanging with the older crowd anyway. The musicians were the Hip Cats, and I was hanging with them anyway. I Just started out real early.
BOOTSY COLLINSYeah, because what it all boils down to is at the end of the day, we are all riding on the same boat and we have to learn how to deal with each other. I think that the music and what we do in our actions is what can kind of bring us together, hopefully.
BOOTSY COLLINSWe have given our creations more power than we have, and that to me is dumb.
BOOTSY COLLINSMy brother was very important to me. And he played guitar. So that’s what I wanted to be. I wanted to be a guitar player. So he was the first one to inspire me to do something with my life. And I was so glad that he was there.
BOOTSY COLLINSWe are the greatest computers in this world, but now we’ve created the smart phone which is smarter than us now, but we’re still making dumb decisions.
BOOTSY COLLINSWhere´s my leadin´ lady? Let me try this new love scene on you, baby.
BOOTSY COLLINSOnce you lose that musician part -not just the playing, I’m talking about musician attitude- then you’re lost, man. Especially if you started out that way. It feels so good to be back, starting from the ground up.
