we do a show on Radio North Sea International

00:02:26.969 --> 00:02:31.129
called hits or miss this is where the the audience

00:02:31.129 --> 00:02:32.669
literally vote if they think she'll be hit or

00:02:32.669 --> 00:02:35.189
miss and You know, we still get several hundred

00:02:35.189 --> 00:02:37.610
votes and that Well, should you want to tell

00:02:37.610 --> 00:02:40.509
Susie how well she did? You didn't only get a

00:02:40.509 --> 00:02:43.990
hit and smash it. You got the maximum points

00:02:43.990 --> 00:02:49.099
you can get Yeah And only one person's ever done

00:02:49.099 --> 00:02:52.719
that before. So here you go. Fantastic. Yay.

00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.979
Great. Well, everybody does seem to be loving

00:02:55.979 --> 00:02:58.259
this song. It is. It's in your face, isn't it?

00:02:58.539 --> 00:03:01.020
It is amazing. It is. Well, it's right. Listen,

00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:02.639
it's right up there with anything you've done

00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.439
before. And is it right to say, I don't want

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:06.960
to knock any of your because I loved your early

00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.120
stuff, you know, right up to she's in love with

00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:10.939
him and all that going right up to 78 and stuff.

00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:16.159
But can I actually say it's to me, it's the most

00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.939
live. lifeless Susie Quattro I've heard, is that

00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:24.520
alright to say? Yeah, we have returned to my

00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.159
roots on this album, so everybody's picked up

00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.780
on that. It's kind of like everything you expect

00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:34.759
a Susie Quattro single to be and an album to

00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.840
be, it's there. It's me firing on all four cylinders.

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:54.159
It is. It is. How much part has your son played

00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:55.780
on this? Because he's been working with you very

00:03:55.780 --> 00:03:58.259
closely for some years now. I know he's in his

00:03:58.259 --> 00:04:01.099
early 40s, wherever, and he's really there with

00:04:01.099 --> 00:04:03.759
you writing. What bigger part has he played this

00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:09.139
time? Very big. He said that we should strip

00:04:09.139 --> 00:04:11.979
it all back and go back to the original feeling.

00:04:12.349 --> 00:04:15.629
So all the songs took on that kind of flavor

00:04:15.629 --> 00:04:19.769
and. It was all it's all about being comfortable

00:04:19.769 --> 00:04:22.170
in your skin the whole album choose yourself

00:04:22.170 --> 00:04:25.449
things like that you know it's a it's very very

00:04:25.449 --> 00:04:27.930
strong lyrically it's about. Well it's about

00:04:27.930 --> 00:04:31.529
me i know who i am and i'm not taking any bs

00:04:31.529 --> 00:04:36.730
from anybody. I don't have nothing left to prove

00:04:36.730 --> 00:04:39.910
going down i'm going down my road my baggage

00:04:39.910 --> 00:04:46.019
is excess baggage is away. So down I go Really

00:04:46.019 --> 00:04:49.160
so all the album we've got freedom to single

00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.360
Because some other titles here. I mean barmese

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.439
tell me something about them as we go through

00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:58.000
but little miss lovely Yeah, that's that little

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.339
miss lovely that that's very much I call it my

00:05:01.339 --> 00:05:06.199
Gemini song Black and white black and white black

00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.680
and white so she's innocently hardcore. I mean

00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:13.860
Positively negative. There you go. It's Germany.

00:05:13.860 --> 00:05:16.519
It's Germany. But I have to go. Little Miss Lovely.

00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.759
I've got Choose Yourself. Yeah. That was going

00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.959
to be the title track and it was going to be

00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.060
the album called. That's a lot of people love

00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:32.560
that song. But when we were mixing and I was

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.540
listening to the mixes, Freedom just kept jumping

00:05:35.540 --> 00:05:38.189
out. You know what does that a single does that

00:05:38.189 --> 00:05:41.410
but choose yourself as an excellent track I loved

00:05:41.410 --> 00:05:44.430
it from the time my son sent me that the recording

00:05:44.430 --> 00:05:46.709
I loved it it's an it's an it's got a lot of

00:05:46.709 --> 00:05:52.470
good lyrics in there hanging over me. Yes five

00:05:52.470 --> 00:05:54.970
o 'clock shadow hanging over me there's a few

00:05:54.970 --> 00:05:59.870
on there like this it's my way of saying go bye.

00:06:02.990 --> 00:06:09.860
See ya. Here's your boots. That's another one

00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:12.459
of saying here's your boots. My mom used to always

00:06:12.459 --> 00:06:14.040
say that. Here's your hat. What's your hurry

00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.839
used to always make me laugh. It's a nice way

00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.180
to say. It's a nice way to say goodbye. It's

00:06:20.180 --> 00:06:23.620
very cheeky that song. Okay, very cheeky. Yeah,

00:06:24.180 --> 00:06:28.319
brilliant. Can't let it go. Yes, you know that

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.879
one was born out of and we all we all have this

00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:33.379
in our lives. If you're with your partner and

00:06:33.379 --> 00:06:36.759
you're arguing. And you just want to, okay, we've

00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.220
had the argument now, let it go. And sometimes

00:06:40.220 --> 00:06:43.199
it can be you too. I've done this too. You can't

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:46.300
let it go. And so this song, you can't let it

00:06:46.300 --> 00:06:48.300
go. You know, you just can't let it go. So it's,

00:06:48.300 --> 00:06:50.920
it's that frustration that the argument keeps

00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:55.220
going, going, going enough already. Nobody held

00:06:55.220 --> 00:06:59.480
my hand. Nice title. Great title. And that was

00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.600
my, that was my son's title. And he had came

00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.399
up with some lyrics, too. And he wanted me to

00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:09.920
write a song about my story of doing everything

00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.720
alone, because he always relates to that, that

00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:16.060
I didn't have any help. I had to strike out on

00:07:16.060 --> 00:07:18.399
my own and make it on my own. I left the family,

00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.680
came over here alone as alone can be. So nobody

00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.000
held my hand. That's absolutely correct. It's

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.199
very anthemy, that song. It might go in the show,

00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:32.410
actually. It's a good song. Shake down. Shakedown

00:07:32.410 --> 00:07:36.089
yeah, oh boy that that was born out of a situation

00:07:36.089 --> 00:07:38.709
again that happened to me within my family And

00:07:38.709 --> 00:07:41.949
I felt like I was being just shaken down by everybody

00:07:41.949 --> 00:07:45.310
so That was getting my frustrations out that

00:07:45.310 --> 00:07:51.790
shakedown Take it or leave it It's one of my

00:07:51.790 --> 00:07:55.209
favorite lyrics take it and even just don't judge

00:07:55.209 --> 00:07:59.769
Okay, it says it just don't judge take it or

00:07:59.769 --> 00:08:02.910
leave it you're giving somebody the option if

00:08:02.910 --> 00:08:04.910
they don't want to be around you then don't be

00:08:04.910 --> 00:08:08.870
around me bye i like the next title the next

00:08:08.870 --> 00:08:11.029
one's going to be very interesting because i

00:08:11.029 --> 00:08:13.129
don't class but of course i don't really know

00:08:13.129 --> 00:08:14.810
we only know you through the interviews of course

00:08:14.810 --> 00:08:17.050
but i don't really know you but you don't come

00:08:17.050 --> 00:08:20.430
over as a feminist to me but woman song could

00:08:20.430 --> 00:08:23.089
mean anything you know you but i don't so what

00:08:23.089 --> 00:08:26.620
what's that mean what's that about well I'm as

00:08:26.620 --> 00:08:29.180
you know i'm a non gender person i've never done

00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:32.019
gender never call never call myself a female

00:08:32.019 --> 00:08:35.120
musician and i never was i never was like women's

00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:39.860
live by me live but at the age of seventy five.

00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:43.759
I have finally for the first time written a woman's

00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:47.200
song so important my son says it's the most dangerous

00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.500
song on the album because of what it says lyrically

00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:51.899
but i really mean it so i'll probably never write

00:08:51.899 --> 00:08:54.720
a song like this again but i've. taking my hat

00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.740
off and said a woman's song this is my my woman's

00:08:58.740 --> 00:09:01.960
song to all the women out there now okay has

00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.620
this song been in the making since 73 or before

00:09:05.620 --> 00:09:08.860
you came over here even or or has it been just

00:09:08.860 --> 00:09:11.940
in the background brewing and growing you thought

00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:15.940
i got it now 2026 i've got it this is it has

00:09:15.940 --> 00:09:18.019
it been or is it just something you've come up

00:09:18.019 --> 00:09:21.950
with for this album recently Yeah it just the

00:09:21.950 --> 00:09:24.870
way that the almost going so personal about my

00:09:24.870 --> 00:09:28.049
life and you know about being you know. In charge

00:09:28.049 --> 00:09:31.129
in charge of my life being who i am it's it just

00:09:31.129 --> 00:09:33.830
seems to take on that flavor and i thought. Why

00:09:33.830 --> 00:09:38.210
not why not do a woman song for once which i

00:09:38.210 --> 00:09:41.370
don't do i don't do i don't do gender but i've

00:09:41.370 --> 00:09:46.509
done it but only the only the one time. That's

00:09:46.509 --> 00:09:49.889
enough in a career like yours. It's great you

00:09:49.889 --> 00:09:52.889
tackled it, it's wonderful. Kick out the jams,

00:09:53.029 --> 00:09:54.669
featuring Alice Cooper. I've got a feeling there

00:09:54.669 --> 00:09:56.429
might be interviews about this nearer to time,

00:09:56.450 --> 00:10:00.529
somehow, but how, why, whatever. There's obviously

00:10:00.529 --> 00:10:02.590
two great artists together, and obviously Alice

00:10:02.590 --> 00:10:05.570
Cooper must be a great friend of yours, but why?

00:10:05.710 --> 00:10:12.129
Why now? Why? Great, I'm pleased, but yeah. It's

00:10:12.129 --> 00:10:16.220
traditional since 73. that i do two covers on

00:10:16.220 --> 00:10:18.759
every album and we've kept that tradition so

00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.159
there's going down by freddie king and then my

00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:25.139
son kept saying kick out the jams and i love

00:10:25.139 --> 00:10:27.480
the song i'm from detroit but for some reason

00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.580
i couldn't get my brain around it but he was

00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:31.919
insisting and then he finally came and he said

00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:35.580
he said mom kick out the jams with alice and

00:10:35.580 --> 00:10:40.080
i said now i hear it now i hear To two guys from

00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:42.100
Detroit, we've known each other since teenagers,

00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:46.259
going back, back to Detroit to honor the MC five

00:10:46.259 --> 00:10:48.820
and singing it face to face in the studio. So

00:10:48.820 --> 00:10:51.360
then it made sense. And when you hear it, it's

00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:54.320
it you hear the connection. You see Detroit,

00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.100
you feel Detroit, you hear the connection that

00:10:56.100 --> 00:10:58.730
we have. Sure, and the other one, Going Down,

00:10:58.870 --> 00:11:00.029
which I was going to mention at the end. Yes,

00:11:00.070 --> 00:11:01.769
so that's the other one with the different artists.

00:11:01.870 --> 00:11:03.590
It's a bonus tag. See, you must have known I

00:11:03.590 --> 00:11:05.850
was going to link them together, knowing there

00:11:05.850 --> 00:11:10.070
was... But yes, so tell us all about Going Down

00:11:10.070 --> 00:11:12.850
and how that collaboration came about and why.

00:11:12.950 --> 00:11:14.649
Was it the same as Alice Cooper? Maybe, I don't

00:11:14.649 --> 00:11:17.389
know. Well it was it was suggested again my son

00:11:17.389 --> 00:11:19.490
wanted to cover that night kept saying cuz i

00:11:19.490 --> 00:11:22.789
like bb king, and we always have the argument

00:11:22.789 --> 00:11:25.909
albert freddy or bb i'm a bb king fan and he

00:11:25.909 --> 00:11:28.509
said he'd like to do that because you will sing

00:11:28.509 --> 00:11:31.509
the ass off this one and he was right because

00:11:31.509 --> 00:11:33.789
i and it's a feel you got a groove that's such

00:11:33.789 --> 00:11:35.710
an important group if you can't play it right

00:11:35.710 --> 00:11:37.710
you shouldn't touch the song but actually went

00:11:37.710 --> 00:11:42.610
out there and did one take. So he was right.

00:11:43.110 --> 00:11:45.070
Yes, it was right. It was right down my street.

00:11:45.210 --> 00:11:47.330
And I put a little personal lyrics about Detroit

00:11:47.330 --> 00:12:12.559
in it myself, you know, so. This is Nick and

00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:14.620
Sue with Chatterbox, giving you all you need

00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:19.720
to know about musical entertainment. Chatterbox,

00:12:19.740 --> 00:12:23.480
Chatterbox, Chatterbox, Chatterbox, Chatterbox.

00:12:23.860 --> 00:12:28.179
And we've got a bonus track, track 13. Completely

00:12:28.179 --> 00:12:30.679
different, completely different. It all comes

00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:35.159
down to you. Yeah. Again, the same theme, because

00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:36.940
it's all about who you are, choose yourself,

00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:39.700
blah, blah, blah, blah. But we were doing, we

00:12:39.700 --> 00:12:42.690
had a a song in a movie a house music kind of

00:12:42.690 --> 00:12:45.429
song in a movie and we had written three or four

00:12:45.429 --> 00:12:49.090
for that project and this one was a perfect bonus

00:12:49.090 --> 00:12:51.909
track it's the same theme but a bonus track should

00:12:51.909 --> 00:12:53.929
be totally different than everything else and

00:12:53.929 --> 00:12:56.529
this is okay yeah i understand that i understand

00:12:56.529 --> 00:12:58.929
that a couple of questions i'd like to ask you

00:12:58.929 --> 00:13:01.149
before we sort of move on about the tour and

00:13:01.149 --> 00:13:03.450
uh obviously we talk about the book as well because

00:13:03.450 --> 00:13:06.129
we need an update um when we spoke last time

00:13:06.129 --> 00:13:08.029
we did speak about obviously susie quattro being

00:13:08.029 --> 00:13:10.960
your real name and so on One question I wanted

00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:15.860
to ask, at any point before you said to Mickey

00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:17.759
most about changing your name or what should

00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:21.100
it be, what names did you have in mind? Did you

00:13:21.100 --> 00:13:23.860
have any ideas of what your stage name should

00:13:23.860 --> 00:13:25.700
be before you were told you got the best name

00:13:25.700 --> 00:13:29.360
in the world? No, no, I didn't. I just assumed

00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:31.919
I needed I needed a new name. But he said no.

00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:34.320
Everybody asked me that. What's your real name?

00:13:34.379 --> 00:13:37.279
Because it sounds it sounds like a stage name.

00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:39.820
Yeah. Yeah. It's a great name. It's a very strong

00:13:39.820 --> 00:13:41.679
name, isn't it? It's the best name in the world

00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:45.799
for us music guys. The honest truth is, you couldn't

00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:49.279
make it up. No, you couldn't. You couldn't make

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:53.720
it up. And one last one. Also, just when you

00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:58.399
came to the UK. Did you know the UK was going

00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.419
to be where you made it big time? Did something

00:14:01.419 --> 00:14:03.519
inside tell you or did you know Mickey beforehand

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.860
and he got you here or how did you end up in

00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:08.019
the UK because it worked pretty well and pretty

00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:10.440
quick really when you got here? Well I was in

00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.679
a band called Cradle which was the second wave

00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:15.919
of the Argo band and my little sister came in

00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.200
and I was kind of pushed back from the front

00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.500
position to mainly being the bass player which

00:14:20.500 --> 00:14:22.299
is great because I got really good on my instrument

00:14:22.299 --> 00:14:24.559
at that point jamming all the time and doing

00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:26.830
solo. and blah, blah, blah. And that's the band

00:14:26.830 --> 00:14:30.429
that Mickey saw in Detroit. And I only did two

00:14:30.429 --> 00:14:34.710
songs and he offered me a solo contract. And

00:14:34.710 --> 00:14:38.250
it was the second offer in one week that I'd

00:14:38.250 --> 00:14:42.049
have to go solo. The one guy from Elector wanted

00:14:42.049 --> 00:14:44.129
to make me into the next Janis Joplin, no thank

00:14:44.129 --> 00:14:47.470
you. And Mickey said, come to England and I'll

00:14:47.470 --> 00:14:49.789
make you into the first Suzy Quattro. And I was

00:14:49.789 --> 00:14:53.190
a fan of Mickey's production too. all the stuff

00:14:53.190 --> 00:14:56.029
he did, but I particularly liked Donovan. I like

00:14:56.029 --> 00:14:59.210
the production on that. And so when I said Mickey

00:14:59.210 --> 00:15:00.909
Mouse, I went, yeah, that's the guy I want to

00:15:00.909 --> 00:15:03.690
go with. And he saw me. He saw me who I was,

00:15:03.690 --> 00:15:05.990
you know. Fantastic. I always wondered. That's

00:15:05.990 --> 00:15:08.230
great. And of course, Mickey Mouse, to those

00:15:08.230 --> 00:15:11.789
of us over a certain age, not only on the record

00:15:11.789 --> 00:15:13.549
side, of course, he was well known on TV. He

00:15:13.549 --> 00:15:16.830
was on New Faces as one of the paddlers. He was

00:15:16.830 --> 00:15:19.929
up there, wasn't he? Yeah, he was. He was. Fantastic.

00:15:20.389 --> 00:15:24.549
Absolutely. Sue? Yes, Susie, I've got a couple

00:15:24.549 --> 00:15:27.250
of questions for you. What keeps Susie Quattro

00:15:27.250 --> 00:15:34.110
going? My passion and my need. I need to do what

00:15:34.110 --> 00:15:38.950
I do. I like that. And how is your book going,

00:15:39.090 --> 00:15:40.889
the one about the gravestones? We like that.

00:15:40.929 --> 00:15:43.190
Yeah, yeah, yeah, very good. In fact, I'm working

00:15:43.190 --> 00:15:46.870
on a screenplay as we speak. We're trying to

00:15:46.870 --> 00:15:51.840
turn it into a 20 part TV series. So, yeah. Well,

00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:54.519
a couple of our regular listeners on the Hit

00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:59.059
or Miss show saw you in a show in the last two

00:15:59.059 --> 00:16:01.720
months, I'd say, in London. And it wasn't like

00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.120
you singing or doing it. It was like a night

00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:06.879
with Susie Quattro, an anecdote show. It was

00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:09.460
hilarious. They loved every minute of it. So

00:16:09.460 --> 00:16:11.419
that was really good. I love doing stuff like

00:16:11.419 --> 00:16:13.600
that. Anyway, I'm a real communicator. Yeah,

00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:16.039
I loved it. It was feedback from two listeners.

00:16:16.100 --> 00:16:17.299
So I thought I'd give that back to you. But they

00:16:17.299 --> 00:16:21.019
loved everything. That's nice. That's nice. Right.

00:16:21.259 --> 00:16:24.440
Back to the present day. This tour, Susie, tell

00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.659

00:16:27.659 --> 00:16:29.220

00:16:48.950 --> 00:16:51.370
songs two songs from the album going in the show

00:16:51.370 --> 00:16:54.409
freedom of course and probably kick out the jams

00:16:54.409 --> 00:16:57.159
cuz i think that's coming out. As the third single

00:16:57.159 --> 00:16:59.740
which will be just in time along with the release

00:16:59.740 --> 00:17:01.700
of the album that'll be the third single altogether

00:17:01.700 --> 00:17:04.619
So looking forward to doing this talk very much.

00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:06.720
Well singles was something I was going to mention.

00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:10.619
So you've done that Well, this show also goes

00:17:10.619 --> 00:17:13.359
to Quite a lot of the Commonwealth countries

00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:16.440
Australia included. I know that you've been there

00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:18.779
so many times I think you might be there last

00:17:18.779 --> 00:17:21.460
year. Were you Australian last last year and

00:17:21.460 --> 00:17:24.829
at the end of this year that will be my 40 second

00:17:24.829 --> 00:17:28.309
time in Australia. Wow. That's where I was going.

00:17:28.630 --> 00:17:30.890
So the Australian people listening to this show,

00:17:31.250 --> 00:17:32.670
they know you're coming back again this year.

00:17:32.869 --> 00:17:36.029
Fantastic. They do. Brilliant. Susie, Nick's

00:17:36.029 --> 00:17:38.690
received the press release about you. There's

00:17:38.690 --> 00:17:41.089
a picture of you, a picture and there's a motorbike

00:17:41.089 --> 00:17:44.809
in it. What's that about? Oh, that's that. That

00:17:44.809 --> 00:17:47.990
was to say that that was my vision. As soon as

00:17:47.990 --> 00:17:54.089
I decided. That freedom would be the single and

00:17:54.089 --> 00:17:55.990
the title of the album cuz we like i said it

00:17:55.990 --> 00:17:58.549
was gonna be choose something soon as freedom

00:17:58.549 --> 00:18:01.890
had to be the single and i had the vision of

00:18:01.890 --> 00:18:05.460
i saw the album cover i saw it in my mind. And

00:18:05.460 --> 00:18:08.200
I put the word out to everybody who's photographed

00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.059
me for many years. And Julie, Julie Ainsworth

00:18:11.059 --> 00:18:13.500
from Australia, she found a picture of me from

00:18:13.500 --> 00:18:17.460
the back with my base. And then she had a I create

00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:20.720
this my vision with her photo. And then, of course,

00:18:20.819 --> 00:18:24.039
the art department got involved then. And then

00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:27.359
they made it into artwork and they took out the

00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:29.880
one, but they took the idea. So it's exactly

00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:34.359
how I saw this title and this album cover. Wonderful

00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.220
cover. Wonderful. Very good cover. I like it.

00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:39.019
Everything from the cactus to the right on the

00:18:39.019 --> 00:18:41.279
right hand side to everything. And the freedom

00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:43.920
and the freedom along the road, you know, and

00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.160
the bass in my hand, the fist up and you see

00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:48.859
my face in the rear view mirror and you see my

00:18:48.859 --> 00:18:51.200
logo on the tailpipe, you know, so it's it's

00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:54.220
great. Great. Fantastic. Very good. And of course,

00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:56.599
the other thing about you about you carrying

00:18:56.599 --> 00:19:01.279
on, of course, it is. You're a natural on stage.

00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:03.319
you know you are, you're a perfectionist, and

00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:06.539
you do it for the fans. We've been getting a

00:19:06.539 --> 00:19:08.380
buzz off radio, what it's like for you on there

00:19:08.380 --> 00:19:10.740
doing what you do, but I know you do, I know

00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:14.359
you love every second of it up there. I do. And

00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:16.339
we're talking about, you were in your 60s when

00:19:16.339 --> 00:19:19.019
we were latecomers getting to know you I suppose,

00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.559
but now you're 75, you ain't going no place are

00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:23.779
you? We'll be talking to you when you're well

00:19:23.779 --> 00:19:26.059
in your 80s and hopefully further on with that,

00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:29.019
but you're not going anywhere are you? No, I've

00:19:29.019 --> 00:19:32.579
got no intention of going anywhere. So what's

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:37.400
next then? Yeah, I am. I've got, like I said,

00:19:37.539 --> 00:19:39.359
the screenplay for Grave Runner Takis. We're

00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:42.759
working on a movie script, a two part of my life

00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:45.240
working on that. I'm thinking about maybe the

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:46.940
next film, maybe I'll make it Susie and Friends.

00:19:47.059 --> 00:19:49.900
I'm thinking about that. I've got eight books

00:19:49.900 --> 00:19:53.339
published. I will be doing one more poetry book,

00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:56.390
which I've got. Maybe 15 done already, writing

00:19:56.390 --> 00:20:00.990
songs, just doing what I do, being an artiste.

00:20:01.309 --> 00:20:03.670
Well, there's certainly plenty more to talk about

00:20:03.670 --> 00:20:06.869
this year, isn't there, at some point? So, obviously

00:20:06.869 --> 00:20:10.509
we wish you every success. Suzy Quatre and Freedom,

00:20:10.509 --> 00:20:14.049
