Most people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the ass.

You can tell the difference between songs that were created in a garage and songs that were created in the studio.

Of course it's fantastic to have bands formed in garages, but there is a market for other types of music.

In the '80s, they were using an awful lot of technology but hadn't really figured out how it worked yet... You had these really great, simple pop songs turned into these gigantic overproductions.

We didn't have a garage to rehearse in. We had to aggravate the folks in the house. But I got a chance to play in a beer joint, and that's how it started.

As a kid, my parents had the typical stuff going on in the home, like Bee Gees, The Carpenters. Then I got exposed to what my brothers were listening to: a lot of classic rock, Led Zeppelin. It was around the mid-'80s when the whole Electro-Techno-Pop-House music thing started happening in Chicago.

You program music with an image and then people are desensitized.

I came up not understanding that a lot of people didn't start to hear music until they went to college or were turned on by an older brother or sister.

I feel like every project I've ever done has had music involved in it somehow.
