Live in Washington

No tats, no piercings. I am fashion-challenged enough already.

The song you sing in the shower is:

"Ol' Man River" or "Bella Notte."

What has been your most memorable rider clause, and did you fulfill it?

Believe it or not, Elvis Presley's two six-packs of Coke, because that was the entirety of the show's catering rider. The Colonel [manager Tom Parker] thought everybody else could use vending machines, I guess.

When was the last time you were star-struck by an artist?

When I presented Miles Davis at the Warner Theatre on the "Tutu" album tour. I really couldn't think of a thing to say, so I said after the show, "Well, Miles, what did you think?" And his response (in that gravelly voice) was, "Man, these people know what they're listening to."

Is it cool to ask for an autograph?

It's only cool if you are asking for someone else, unless you are a [die-hard] fan and the artist understands that.

Favorite guilty pleasure band your friends would never suspect?

Humble Pie.

How do you spend your days off?
