I'm working on a proper rock record, a good, old-school rock record. Finally.

My profession is called record production.

I've made a life and career as a professional musician.

My job is essentially that of an entertainer, no different to that of a musician, no different to that of an actor. I just happen to be an author.

But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer; that's my livelihood, my occupation.

My ambition was to be a record producer, and I had started doing that in the late '60s with my work with the MC5 and my friend Livingston Taylor.

I am a record executive and I shall be right there in your face with my records.

I used to be a record collector. Mark Ronson, Questlove and I used to be part of, like, a record-trading crew.

I do work a lot. I mean, most of my income, I would say, comes from live performances. And then you've got publishing, you've got record royalties.

I've had the privilege of meeting and/or interviewing most of the top metal and hard rock artists at various points in my career and sharing their stories and music with millions of fans on air through TV and radio.
