Golf is a pursuit that seems saner than what you got up to in the past. Is that a sign of mellowing or true rebellion?
True rebellion. What is more anti-Alice than golf? Plus, golf is already a vicious game, I’m just trying to make it more violent. I think it should be a blood sport.
Where do you find inspiration when it comes to writing songs?
People in general are the greatest and never-ending source of inspiration and material.
You have collaborated with many of the biggest names in music, but is there anyone else living or dead that you would love to collaborate with?
Pete Townsend, Burt Bacharach, Paul McCartney and Jeff Beck.
If you were ever bored, what are three tracks to listen to that can pump up your dreary day?
“I Get Around” by The Beach Boys, “September” by Earth, Wind And Fire and “A Hard Day’s Night” by The Beatles.
Favorite lullaby?
“When You Wish Upon A Star” because it reminds me of my childhood with Walt Disney.
Favorite stories?
Grimms’ Fairy Tales because they allow me to use my childish imagination and I never grew up.
What are some of the biggest myths about you?
I never killed a chicken on stage and I hate Satan.
Biggest lie you ever told the media?
That I was extremely talented… no seriously, in the beginning I said “Don’t worry about me, I won’t be around very long!” That was 45 years ago.
