You try to be moody when you're young and it had a good ring to it.
From Jim Capaldi
Mr. Fantasy was the only song that was scribbling on a piece of paper.
We played at a club called, the Elbow Room. Don Carlos, the nightclub owner, was very hip and a very important person who made a big impact on my life.
Traffic was very, very free. It was great.
Everything that Traffic ever did, I'd give Steve a complete lyric, titled, written out with the verse, the bridge, the shape and rhyme and then Steve had to figure out how the meter of the words would fit musically.
I have always had a tremendous amount of energy and any band I was ever in from the age of fourteen, I would always be the one who would describe the future and vibe everyone up.
You know, I had the ability like a catalyst to really get everybody hyped up.
Because I would just tell everyone it was going to be great and just put that belief in them.
I think you do better when you are really up for it, cause passion goes up.
For me, naming bands was the forerunner to really writing lyrics, because I work off titles.
