Watch your attitude. I don't mean to sound like so much of an old head, but there is another generation behind me, out there, doing it now. I find that, with the whole hip-hop generation, there's a lot of attitude.

You can still play all of the baddest licks in the world. But if you don't have a good attitude, nobody's going to work with you.

It was an interesting dichotomy between hanging out with the godfather of punk rock and starting to play the ukulele. They came together.
