We struggled together and sometimes with one another. We took care of one another. In the end, we kept faith in each other.
The great challenge of adulthood is holding on to your idealism after you lose your innocence.
It's not the time in your life, it's the life in your time.
Judge said, what you got in your defense son? Fifty-seven channels and nothing on.
Talk about a dream, try to make it real.
When i look in your eyes is that you baby, or just a brilliant disguise.
We're here tonight with a mission, we're here tonight with a purpose,
The star thing I can live with. The music I can't live without. And that's how it lays out for me, you know. I got as big an ego and enjoy the attention.
All I try to do is to write music that feels meaningful to me, that has commitment and passion behind it.
The best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.
But then I go through long periods where I don't listen to things, usually when I'm working. In between the records and in between the writing I suck up books and music and movies and anything I can find.
I'm interested in what it means to live in America. I'm interested in the kind of country that we live in and leave our kids. I'm interested in trying to define what that country is. I got the chutzpa or whatever you want to say to believe that if I write a really good about it, it's going to make a difference.
We remain a land of great promise, but we must move on, ... humility in exercising our power around the world.
There's a lot of music we have that cuts right to the heart of what's going on there.
