I have a real issue with radio these days. I just am not into the current music.

'Let the music play on' would be my legacy.

My friends are mostly familiar with music that plays on the mainstream radio.

I'm not ready to retire, and I think I have some of the best music of my life coming up.

I've never really been a traditional country kind of guy. I wanted my music to sound more like the end of the '90s and to have the kind of great music, pop or whatever, that radio will embrace.

I think most people's record collections are more interesting than radio generally gives them credit for. You're likely to be as interested in the Grateful Dead as Palestrina. It pisses me off how compartmentalised music is. I used to be in a punk band, you know?

I listen to a lot of old music, like Joni Mitchell and David Bowie.

I do not believe in any legacy. The past is dead and gone.

I really want my music to go mainstream.

I think my music generally transcends a lot of genres.
