The reason it has lasted for 30 years is for one reason and one reason only: Classic Rock radio.

I love the fact that 35 years later, I still hear my songs on the radio.

I was inspired by the classic rock radio of the Seventies. They separated Chuck Berry and the Beatles from the Led Zeppelins and Bostons and Peter Framptons of the time. In many ways, classic rock became bigger than mainstream rock.

If you had a good radio - and everybody did in those days - you could find it.

And music was a very important part of our lives. The radio was on all day.

I did radio back in the era when we did radio drama.

Back in the day, the album was king in many ways. And, of course, we were very tied in with the birth of FM/college radio in the States, and what we were doing suited the format of those young radio stations.

The key to longevity is to learn every aspect of music that you can.

That radio was very important for me. It meant I always knew what was going on in the world.
