I would go to the iPad and colorize the individual words to the degree of inflection. That’s how Jason and I worked really well together – he put in the stories and I put in my own exclamations and admissions… I just finished my audiobook two weeks ago, and it’s harder than I expected was. I’d tell him, you’re using proper grammar and I don’t talk like that! I’ve read Mary Karr’s book (“The Art of Memoir”) and you really get the idea that voices have to be unique and that stories have to be framed the way I’d tell my friends at dinner parties. Log in: I rewrote what Jason got from my interview. Q: What disappointed you while writing the book? Once I had that conversation with my dad and brought up the line ‘you have a choice how it’s going to go’ to Michael, it just fell out of us. But that collection, the bridge between Michael and Kenny, is the third unit in the room, and that unit insists that there should be more to the song. Log in: Michael and I initially thought ‘This Is It’ was just a love song. Q: Fans will be interested to know that “This Is It” originated from a conversation you had with your father before surgery. The Dobie Brothers are back: Michael McDonald and the band in peak form on new tour I wish we could write 100 songs and suck at 80 of them. I can’t explain it, but I think we didn’t really take advantage of our opportunities in the ’80s.
Every time we are together, we write something in the form of music and we would not have done it alone. It might be a bit over-dramatic, but we’re definitely (sympatico) musical. Log in: I think in some ways, yes, I’ll give that to you. Q: Do you feel like Michael was your musical partner – and probably still is? It defined the stuff we were doing in a way that was appreciated. We did a show at the Hollywood Bowl (in 2018) and there were a lot of sailing caps in the audience, and that’s okay. Log in: We’re still great friends and appreciate the history we’ve made, and that’s fine with the yacht-rock thing. Q: You wrote a lot about your partnership with Michael McDonald in the book. Something happens to the brain when you’re in a creative space and without it, I feel sad. I have to write a little bit at least once a week. I’ve got COVID 10 (pounds)! I stopped moving in a creative direction, and I felt a difference emotionally and mentally. (My girlfriend) Lisa (Hawkins) and I would ride e-bikes, and my search was to find different donut shops. Like a lot of people, 2020 threw the wind out of my sails, nowhere to go, no spectators. Log in: I feel like I’ve turned a page and am ready to step into more activity creatively. Q: In Afterword, you note that you didn’t really want to write that part of the book because it felt like something was coming to an end. Ranking of best films of 2022:See where ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ comes up on the list I didn’t want Jimmy (Messina) to go, ‘(disrespectful) you,’ and my ex-wives, I let them both read their chapters before submitting.
Log in: I used to be very careful in speaking the truth, but in such a way that people would not get mad at me. Q: Are you feeling satisfied about the memoir now that it’s finished? But he really meant it, and said “‘Top Gun’ wouldn’t be ‘Top Gun’ without ‘Danger Zone’.” When Tom (Cruise) told me he wanted to use the song (in the sequel), I was skeptical at first because he’s a cute guy who’s generous with everyone, so I thought it was just his cool. We knew something big was about to happen (with the new film), but it’s bigger than any of us could have imagined. Kenny Loggins: The word dumb is appropriate. What is your reaction to the renewed interest in “Danger Zone”? Q: So that the sequel to “Top Gun” is popular. In a recent interview, the musician candidly took on some of the themes in his book - Michael McDonald, “Top Gun” - and summed up his philosophy for a great memoir: “When you look back it happens very fast.” “It’s hard to believe where I’m sitting – how did I get this old?” Loggins, 74, asks rhetorically. ‘Top Gun’ is back!:Every song from the original soundtrack ranked
