He's the only person I ever opened for - for the first 25 years of my career. I opened for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, me and the Attractions the first time I went to Chicago. We played the Riviera Theater and we barely filled it with the two bands. But that was the days. They had one record out.

It was really timeless, and I don't think he wrote a bad song.
