Quotes

I’m sure, on a seven-week tour, we’ll have some downtime and, if the chance comes, I’ll have a guitar in hand and do some singing — Don McLean’s American Pie. I particularly like Counting Crows, they do some great numbers for the back of the bus.
In 1999, I did a parody of Don McLean’s ‘American Pie’ called ‘The Saga Begins’ (the story of ‘Star Wars’ in song), and a lot of kids were not familiar with the original. After I did my parody, Madonna did a version of ‘American Pie’ and these kids are going, ‘Why’s Madonna doing this unfunny version of a Weird Al song?’More quotes »
