One of the distinctive qualities of your music is the snare drum sound. Is that because of how the snare is tuned? How it’s mixed?

If you listen to an Eagles record it’s like [makes a thin tapping sound], and we didn’t want that. I built my own studio in Indiana because I couldn’t get along with anyone in the multiplex. I punched the blond-haired singer of the Cars. I fought all the time, and lost all the time.

What kind of a dad are you?

I get along great with my kids, and I talk to each of them three or four times a week. But I told them all kinds of crazy [expletive]. I told them I invented skateboarding. My youngest, Speck, was skateboarding at school and a kid said, “You’re really good.” Speck said, “I should be. My dad invented it.” The kid goes, “Your dad didn’t invent skateboarding!” So Speck hit him.

Thanks, Tom.
