writing giving people
I write for myself, and I write for my friends and people who I have a connection with. I try to give some dignity to peoples' lifestyles that tend to be ignored.
song heart cutting
I project love, music and love, and I pray for peace. A good song cuts straight to the heart; sometimes it doesn't need to be too many lines - of course, I do love a good story.
art action folks
Folk art has never been much about politics; it's about action and utility.
loneliness universe
Loneliness is the most compelling force in the universe.
needs partnership
I don't need to control anything. Even with romantic partnerships, I don't need to control anyone.
creating community musician
Musicians wake up and create a more loving community by creating heavier music.
thinking somber humans
I don't think I'm a particularly somber human being.
song writing political
I couldn't write a political song. There's just opinion; it's all arbitrary anyway. It's all subjective.
song personality littles
I've always littered my songs with jokes. You might need to dig a little deeper to find the humor, but I would totally object to being some kind of distraught personality. I've never tried to attach myself to that.
song trying way
I love songs because by nature they are concise; they sum up. I try to use as few words as possible. It's usually funnier that way, anyway.
cutting singers teeth
I was just a folk singer. I cut my teeth on the streets, you know.
thinking vision trying
I wouldn't claim to know what another person is thinking. I can imagine it, but it's my interpretation, and I try to make that clear. It's my vision of what I think their life is. I don't think there are empirical truths in that regard.
rap guitar long
I grew up in the suburbs and was raised on rap radio, so it took me a long time to stumble upon the acoustic guitar as a resource for anything.
differences advice insult
It's hard to make out the difference between insults and bad advice.
