When we started the Allman Brothers, it was all about the music.

To be able to take music and do something as profoundly original as what we did with the Allman Brothers, you've got to put some time into it.

I kind of question whether to say this or not, but it's almost like the Allman Brothers turned into an Allman Brothers tribute band.

Every time a new technology comes along, we feel we're about to break through to a place where we will not be able to recover. The advent of broadcast radio confused people. It delighted people, of course, but it also changed the world.

I think the Internet is an awful lot like FM radio was when it broke out in the late '60s. It's kind of a wild and wily kind of format. They could play 20 songs in a row that had the word 'blue' in them, or whatever they wanted to do.

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.

In 1918, when I was 6 or 7 years old, radio was just coming into use in the Great War.

I grew up in Georgia, so I grew up listening to the Allman Brothers.

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

Radio was my life growing up. Then, I started in our family band with my uncle, my father, my aunt and my little brother. We would go to The Chicken Box and all the bars and play.
