The World Motivation
The first show I ever went to was called Farm Festival in 2010 and I saw Bob Dylan and other loads of great band and that was a really great start.

I've been very fortunate to have my music spread widely via the Internet.
We really are already seeing the impacts of climate change, of temperatures rising all around the world.
It would be unfair for me to be like, 'Yeah, I'm the voice of a generation.' I don't want that responsibility.
I've never seen myself as a strictly political songwriter in a sense, but I think in the world that we live in, and with so much access to the Internet and stuff, I think it's difficult to avoid certain topics.
I feel like such an idiot... you know, that our band didn't break up just so we can re-form and become more and more popular.
Every tour is different. Sometimes I'll get a band together and sometimes it's just me.
If you're in a band, you can dress like a daft teenager for as long as you like. In fact, it's expected of you!
In the late '70s, I had a band - the David Johansen band, for lack of a better name - and I started collecting, not records, but tapes from people I knew who had jump-blues records.
There's a lot of selfishness in this band. It's the reality of being human beings, I guess, to a certain extent.
