With the old dog stuff, maybe the term old is in there, but I'm 26. I'm not that old. It's mostly like, Ah, you dirty old dog! I'm saying it more like that. I'm still ripping. I'm ready to rip. I'll make a bunch more records and have a nice time. We'll see what happens.

I like the funny photos. Other than that, it's not for me.
