"It may be because there’s more organ. On 'Never Say Never,' I don’t think there was any organ. Or just a couple of places. I played pianos. I didn’t think it needed it. When people say, 'Oh you’re in a band, what kind of music?' I go 'Well, old school rock ‘n’ roll. Rock and soul, soulful rock ‘n’ roll.' Booker T. is my organ idol. Him and Billy Preston. Booker first of all with 'Green Onions.' Once I heard him I knew what I was doing with the rest of my life. I have such a debt to pay him."
