I've grown up with my audience; they're my age or older. Not a lot of kids are coming to see me.
Some people say it's a when you get older fans the kids don't like you. It's true.
I write simple songs, and people like that. They're mature enough to appeal to people who aren't teenage girls. Most of my fans are older, and it's nice to think the songs can appeal to middle-aged men and women.
Now my fans are older and they understand how to appreciate me the same way I appreciate them for being there for me.
Young fans want to know about the past and older fans also want to find new music.
It's interesting, as I said on the last tour in America, the audience actually came out, they had to have been the kind of fans who listened to my music via their parents, you know what I mean?
If you look at my audiences, even in Europe, they're hardly teenagers.
I really have fans that are from 14 or 15 years old to 60.
I've got people who like Tommy Boy, but they're getting older and there's a whole new wave of college kids who see that and Joe Dirt, and Just Shoot Me is a little older, so I wanted stuff for everybody.
The fan base that I've had all these years has come along. Some of them are not as plugged into the digital world, so they want to go out and buy the CD at Walmart or something.
