I'm a numbers guy, and I think numbers sometimes tell stories and sometimes they don't. When you look at the NBA, when teams shoot 45% or better from the floor, what is their record? And if they shoot under that what is their record? ↗
A lot of the music that you listen to now is because of the things that the Meters did, the Neville Brothers did, and they're there, the guys who invented those beats that the guys sample today. Such an enormous opportunity. ↗
I think that people who do enjoy my stand-up comedy and the people who get it and the people who are taken in by it, they see that I'm a guy that has love of the game. ↗
If you look at my career, towards the end you will see I was fighting like once a year. I was not part of the Don King top heavyweights, so I was kind of kept out. His guys were getting three to four fights a year and I could only get one. ↗
He
was beautiful. I know, it’s not the manliest way to describe a guy, but in
my head, it was the adjective I used most often and it fit him to a tee. ↗
When you start your first band and it has an impact on the rest of the world you go through a lot with those guys and you become very protective of that legacy. ↗
