It's a sense of pride, a sense of you set out to get a record deal, and we got that. We set out to get a No. 1 record, and then we got that. Then you say, 'Wow, that was impossible and now even more impossible is to stay No. 1 and stay current and put out new records that people care about,' and we really stuck to that.

We would say we would play every pay toilet and use our own change. Across America and across the world, we just kept going and going.

We really earned our keep by going door to door, going to every town, playing in every club.
