his contribution to the we arc the world project and his plans for the what Tor the heart of Rock v Roll its very hard to i think that the exciting thing about Rock n Roll nobody can really put their Finger on i think Rock n Roll ought to be spontaneous some it ought to be it ought to be a Little bit and sort of what do you think is the secret of your Success i think its my Golden pure with the popularity of synthesizer music these How do you explain your considering that your music has nothing to do with synthesizers it we use we use All the modern stuff As i think the modern tools Are just that there Only the key is to play and not let them play i think that a very difficult thing to do you must be very careful to make sure that using the new tones and the new sounds and the new tools you keep the old photo by Anita Gosch you have a movie for me to make x photo for by Joi Estep two tracks for a Steven Spielberg How did you feel about the we Are the world project i thought it was not Only is it for a Good cause and so but you i was born and raised in san As Well As the rest of the and there was a certain feeling in the 60s where every body used to Jam there was just sort of a common feeling were All in this in the 70s and Early 80s the music business has been so corporate and so there Hast been a lot of that going i think there was a general feeling in that room that night where has this feeling gone it really Recap tured that old and having people like Willie Nelson and Stevie wonder in the same for exam it was just it really was an was there anybody you particularly enjoyed meeting Ray a i grew up listening to Ray the neat thing they Only let the 46 musicians in the they didst let in any girlfriends or wed take a break every two or three hours and youd get to Chat with one and so we really got to know one was the project Worth doing i Trust that the moneys going to get and i believe it but just on another that feeling of All these musicians from All different kinds of music from country from Rock from soul music All coming together for a United it was just wonderful to see that happening it was a feeling that had been missing a Long whats in

Well Start recording in whats your new material going to be like the same musical style As sports or something different i think the song tells you How it ought to be How it ought to be what direction it ought to go i believe that songs come from the or from the Muse or and All we can really do is leave the door so i think that once you have the con caption for the the trick in in everything is to be True to the let the song Tell you How it ought to be do you feel any considering the Success of sports i dont feel any pressure be cause that not Why i started in this and i just dont care about that but i did feel a certain amount of creative pressure because i think we wrote some Good songs on that it was very hard to write the first As i weve written this the Power of that in pretty proud
