My wife was diagnosed with lupus 16 or 17 years ago, and that's how I kinda got involved in it. I just finished my fifth annual Bobby Hatfield Classic Golf Tournament, and happily I can report that we raised over $52,000. Through the years we've raised not only through the golf tournament, but through other charitable concerts, we've raised over $600,000.

Rolling Stones, Beatles, we gave them all the break they were looking for. All they needed was a good opening act, and we went out there and performed as well as we could... over 15,000 kids chanting.

As far as our song list... I think between the two of us knew seven songs... for the whole night... we did a lot of variations on those seven songs.

Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil wrote a lot of stuff for Phil Spector... we had done all rock and roll and rhythm and blues. I mean, we liked ballads and I suppose we did them OK, but that wasn't where we were emotionally and musically coming from.

Some people come to our shows and think they're gonna spend the night just listening to love songs, and they're pretty much surprised cause we do a lot of rock and roll.

With me and Bill... I think we started out with $15 apiece and split the other $20 between the band.
