I tried to be just a singer of standards when I was starting out. And there was nothing special enough about my voice to make it that far. So I feel a bit like Rod Stewart. Once you've had that rock career, people will give you that chance where otherwise they might not.

I think you could say things have gotten worse, but I don't think you could say that things have gotten better. Overall. You can't say that.
