I think I'm a fan of people who were brave, my aunt, my grandmother, those are my heroes.
Besides being a guitar player, I'm a big fan of the guitar. I love that damn instrument.
For the music business, social networking is brilliant. Just when you think it's doom and gloom and you have to spend millions of pounds on marketing and this and that, you have this amazing thing now called fan power. The whole world is linked through a laptop. It's amazing. And it's free. I love it. It's absolutely brilliant.
I love the Sex Pistols. I'm a big Beach Boys fan and a huge Zeppelin and Queen fan.
I grew up poor in crappy situations... various crappy situations. What kept me sane was reading and music. I had so many different literary tastes growing up, be it fiction like Stephen King or Piers Anthony or non-fiction like reading Hunter S. Thompson essays or reading the Beats. I was a huge fan of the Beat movement.
