I tell you, the pandemic was weird for the world.

And it was, you know, for artists and musicians, we had, you know, no government bailout for the guy who, you know, is playing guitar or whatever.

But as hard as it was, one of the worst parts of it to me was not just being able to do what we do, but not going to see bands.

You know what I mean?

I have a label called Silver Arrow, and we've been doing this for a few years.

The Black Crows records come out on Silver Arrow.

It's a little different, but...

I'm always going to see bands.

You know what I mean?

Whether it's the Rolling Stones or whether we go see a band at a little club in LA.

And I'm always looking for new things to people that are interesting, if I could help them out in their careers.

A lot of it is with really young artists.

I want to put them in the studio.

I want to give them good experience.

I want to give them a great record deal because it's changed, the model.

But to do that, you have to go out and get in it.

You know what I mean?

We always laugh.

I'm like, is there anyone older here tonight than me?

You're like, oh, there's one.
