I had been in Africa for six weeks on a safari with my family. I said, You know, I made a lot of money. I am getting kind of burned out. I really want to do something special. So I went on this extended trip to Egypt, Kenya, Sardinia - I really did it, man. I was coming home, and while I was gone, they changed the speed limit from 65 to 55.

I'm a co-writer, publisher of that song [Right Now ], so for it to get accepted, we had to sign off on it. I signed off in a second. You bet that anyone can use this. I don't care. You can use it for anything. If it is to inspire people in the positive sense.

I feel it's such a tragic thing [Kurt Cobain's suicide]. Here is a guy, a young guy, that had everything in his hands. He could have had a great life. He had a wife, he had a child, he had a fantastic career. He was important to a generation. And for him to do that - I didn't like that. I thought that was just wrong.
