Then one night in Europe he walked off stage frustrated, because he wanted to say more than the drums could. In this hour he tells how a drummer picked up a 12-string guitar as a songwriter and "turned into a guitar player," how he found his voice by focusing on inner space instead of outer space, and about the night Alan Parsons apologized for not calling him up to the drums at a jam session: "In my head, you're a singer." He plays Everybody's Talking About Love live, guitar and voice, and explains Royal Cadence, the cultural and luxury house he founded. Asked what reinvention is, he answered in one word: power.
