It’s been great to see so many
young music fans get turned onto
the band because they’re fans
of Phish, Dave Matthews Band,
Widespread Panic and so many
others Little Feat have influenced.
For that reason and others, com-
ment on why Little Feat should be
in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I can think of several reasons,
not least of which, Little Feat, like
other bands, encompass the spirit
of rock ‘n’ roll. The rules of playing
music don’t always apply. That’s
what rock ‘n’ roll is. It’s about a
spirit of creativity, freeness, a
youthfulness that’s not tied to age.
I think Little Feat hit lot of those
categories and our influence is
huge. For 50 years, we’ve been
carrying a torch for something
that is really vital to people and
music.
Little Feat is bigger than any-
body this band, including Lowell
George, but inclusive of every-
thing we’ve done collectively
since Lowell passed away and
where we’re going in the future.
We’re on our fifth generation now.
That should be recognized. Not
that I’m pining to be in the Hall of
Fame, but I know our fans would
love for us to be in there.
