"For most of the '80s, the business just went to a place where I didn’t want to go,” he said. “The clothes were more important than the music at one point, I think. The video prerequisite is something I wasn’t interested in, and the domination of synthesizers in the '80s made me very depressed – to think that they could possibly overshadow real playing. They did for a while, but lo and behold, real playing came back.

I think that's one thing I loved about Jeff - aside from his awesome playing - he was always honest to his music. He never went with the flow, thats' for sure. Bles him. DD
