It was mind-blowing. It was a small place with 2,000 standing-up tickets. It`s great to have your band back and working and playing again, people have been so generous.
If you were looking at where you would like your career to go, then you would have to cherry pick The Stones. People love coming to see them. They are it, they are the most definitive rock n roll band ever.
I don`t think you need a record deal to write songs. You don`t need any other reason than you want to do it. It`s a far cry from why some people do music today. They make it to order, which is pretty horrible.
