radio stuff kind
I'm the kind of person who can hear that stuff. If you sing along to the radio and you're not going to sing unison with the melody, but find the harmony, I find that pretty easy to do.
years way lasts
Records became much cruder in the last 20 years. Let's put it that way.
dry records bigs
Records have images. There are wet records and dry records. And big records.
mean people radio
Rodgers and Hammerstein didn't mean anything to me. I just wanted to have a hit, I just wanted to be like those people on the radio. It was all of a case of the present tense with no projecting into the future, particularly.
home rocks rock-and-roll
When Paul and I were first friends, starting in the sixth grade and seventh grade, we would sing a little together and we would make up radio shows and become disc jockeys on our home wire recorder. And then came rock and roll.
artist female tradition
In the tradition of great female artists, Karla Bonoff, Bonnie Raitt, Christine McVie, Shawn Colvin, Sarah McLachlan....now enter Maia Sharp.
weed marijuana leaving
If John Lennon is deported, I'm leaving too...with my musicians..and my marijuana.
ice-cream joy cherries
Monterey was the Maraschino cherry on top of the Sundae that was the '60s. It was totally unprecedented, and the audience was unprecedented in their joy.
new-york differences mind
New York, you got money on your mind. And my words won't make a dime's worth a difference, so here's to you New York.
night light
They say in the darkest night there is a light beyond
gratitude prayer
Yes, I like that word. "More" is a prayer to God, isn't it? Gratitude and plea, all in one.
feelings balance tricks
I have the feeling that in a balanced life one should die penniless. The trick is dismantling.
relationship past problem
You jump right over anything in the past, and you don't analyze problems.
song appreciation real
We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it's timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there's going to be a real appreciation.
