I had a ten-piece band when I was 21 years old, the Bruce Springsteen Band. This is just a slightly expanded version of a band I had before I ever signed a record contract. We had singers and horns.

Starting in the mid-'80s, I played in a band called Meat Joy, and we made our own record, toured.

I've been through this fame thing before, when the band was big in '80, '81.

I was 17 years old and in my first band, and we played at the university. I was kind of a gawky, unpopular teenager and there was about 400 people smiling and dancing to what we were doing.

I first went on the road with the Rolling Stones in the year of our Lord, 1969. But my grandfather gave me away to a drummer when I was 15 years old.

I was a clubber in the Nineties. I went dancing every week.

I was a groupie for a year and followed a band. I dated the drummer of the band.

I started touring a little bit in 1973 in support of a record I made for an independent label. In 1975, when I signed with Warner Bros., where I remained happily ensconced for the next 24 years, my touring activity increased considerably.

And I played in jazz band as well during all three years in school.
