Insightful Billboard Interview - Feb 06 ....

Post by Keith Jordan »

Highlight for me.....



Q: Is it correct to assume that you turned down an offer to tour after Live 8?

A: Yes, we were offered a lot of money to go on tour. And I did turn it down, yes. The offer was made to tour with a lot of money and it was with or without Roger. But I have no interest in going on a tour to make money without making new product, new art. So just going out and replaying our old hits again on a tour does not appeal to me at all.


Q: Will there ever be a chance to see the band live together?

A: Who knows? I have no plans at all to do that. My plans are to do my concerts and put my record out.


Q: Is retiring a word in your dictionary?

A: Being a musician, being a person who's playing tours and making records is a part-time thing for me at age. I did it, I lived it and I breathed it every day of my life for 30-odd years and now I am slowing down a little bit. But it does not mean that I am any less intense and dedicated to the work that I am doing now. I have other priorities in life as well.

I think I've been kind of hard on The Dave here lately...I'm happy for him.

Hell, I envy him.

He's growing old gracefully and I predict that when he dies, it will be with dignity.

Well done, Mister Gilmour.
