I didn’t appreciate Mick Jagger until I got older, and mainly because of the Mick Jagger swagger. He defined that for the world. He was bold and adventurous with it, too - just the ultimate rock star Picture Quote #1

James Brown is the perfect example of flashy but classy. Classy doesn’t have to mean boring. His gear was flamboyant but without being so over the top. The cape was probably the biggest part of his persona. He looked like Superman Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been the DJ or the bass player or the drummer, somebody in the background. I don’t think anybody who knows me personally would say that I’m particularly shy or introverted, but I’m definitely not like Mr. Attention Picture Quote #1

I really love rap music. I grew up in the 80s and 90s with Public Enemy, N.W.A., LL Cool J - I’m a hip-hop encyclopedia. But I got kind of frustrated with the chauvinistic side of rap music, the one that makes it hard to write songs about love and relationships Picture Quote #1
