I don't believe people playing rock n' roll should have crowns. We're not kings and queens. Anybody can play it.

You know, there have been a lot of casualties in rock-n-roll.

The spirit of rock 'n' roll is alive and well. It kind of just needs to be cultivated a little bit.

Obviously, as you get a little older, you are not going to be quite as quick or quite as strong, and so I might be regarded by some as the underdog... There is actually a statue of Big Ben and I in Perth, Ont., and I was on a Canadian stamp once, and normally you have to be dead to do either of those things, and, well, here I am, still going.

But there are rock and roll fans all over this continent and all over the globe, really, and we're just set at marking the planet with Styx music until the day we die.

In England, rock music very rarely infiltrates the charts, but country music even less so.

When I got involved with The Five Crowns who later became The Drifters, and we got this hit record, I still was looking at this as kind of a fun thing.

I know there's some kind of history to mountain music-like it came from Ireland or England or Scotland and we kept up the tradition.

I saw the Stones three years ago at the Wiltern Theater in L.A. and that was mind blowing.
