Because of my political views, I've been targeted as a lightning rod, someone who's too far out there.

Electricity is really just organized lightning.

I seem to be some sort of lightning rod. I just really irritate people, you know? I really do.

I'd wear clogs, short pants and ladies' bracelets. I created this aura for myself.

O! for a muse of fire, that would ascend the brightest heaven of invention.

When you think about rock at its origin, and you think of the Beatles and millions of kids screaming as loud as they can and running as fast as they can towards the Beatles, there's no one who is that kind of lightning rod, who commands that kind of power and has that kind of creative magma.

I get my best ideas in a thunderstorm. I have the power and majesty of nature on my side.

I think, because I'm an artist, part of my job is to be a barometer, an antenna. It's in the air and it resonates with a lot of people to lighten up.

Had I become a priest, the sermons would've been electric!
