For every rockabilly festival staged here, there are 10 held overseas.
I didn't realize how many true Rockabilly fans there were here in America.
Mainly horror movies and exploitation movies and a lot of stuff comes from those press books from those old movies. Lines out of old movies, comic books that we collect, all the old horror comics of the 50s, probably about the only comics that we collect are obscure horror comics, the real sick ones from the 50s. Some stuff comes from there but mainly just old records, old rockabilly records and that stuff, singles mainly, 45s.
McCartney! Haven't met him and haven't played with him. I would LOVE to. He needs to make a kick-ass rockabilly record.
That rockabilly sound wasn't as simple as I thought it was.
I'm not God's gift to rockabilly. There's great players out there, and some of them deserve a lot more than they've gotten.
With the Stray Cats at least, we really took the music somewhere else. First, we wrote our own songs. That's a real weak point in modern classics if you do rockabilly or blues.
Music is music; you can't change rock and say well this is punk rock and this is acid rock or rockabilly.
