Steve Miller
John Tobler, NME, 22 May 1976
"I WASN'T disturbed by having a hit I was exhausted! Before The Joker became successful we'd done 220 concerts in the previous year. Then when the album came out, we went on a little promotional tour of 50 cities...It hit, and we had to do 32 cities in 40.days. I was ready for the farm."
