• Hole in the Sky, to me, is very much a better Black Sabbath song.
• You've got people saying, “Well, concerts should be free, or $5. I grew up going to $5 shows, why isn't it $5?” 
• You can see I've got a pretty good, scar across my neck. It looks like I came out of a Highlander movie, successfully. 
• I didn't want to have to wrap up my affairs and sell my records and finish my novel in 6 months. 
• Making a list, or making a call, or making a plan.
