good nobody pay reasons seriously systems value
We got glimpses into their value systems and their reasons they do things that nobody else has gotten. It was pay dirt. It was seriously good stuff.
families good learned lives positive rather source stuff taken
We know we're grown-up guys, and we have families and stuff, but we've taken that as a positive source of art, rather than as a detriment. You know, how we feel about the stuff that we've learned over the lives that we've had, and how we feel about our families. That's where we're writing from, and it's a good thing.
fun good
We've all been friends for a long time. And when the vibe's good we really have a lot of fun with each other.
atlantic companies good lawyers loved music people ran record run
When it all started, record companies - and there were many of them, and this was a good thing - were run by people who loved records, people like Ahmet Ertegun, who ran Atlantic Records, who were record collectors. They got in it because they loved music... Now, record companies are run by lawyers and accountants.

bought collect good guitars johnny people played rare
I don't collect the way other people do. Some people collect rare guitars, like, 'I have a '54 Strat worth $50,000.' And I don't collect the way Nash does. Nash has Duane Allman's guitar and Johnny Cash's guitar. I bought guitars because they sounded good. I played them, they sounded unbelievably good, and I couldn't resist.
fun good music
Good music is an end in and of itself. When you're doing it, it's really the most fun part.

VH1 and MTV turned suddenly from being a musical experience to a theatrical one. It became how you looked, which is what put Britney Spears - who's as deep as a birdbath - in front of Joni Mitchell.
byrds convince legislate miss music record roger tour
I would do a Byrds tour or a Byrds record in a minute. I miss that band now. I've tried to convince Roger over and over to do it, but he's not interested. Music isn't something you can legislate into being.

It was probably the strangest thing that's ever happened in the world,

When did I decide to go into business? Well, it wasn't a business, when I decided. It was simply a need to sing.

My songs emerge from my life, or wherever they do, unbidden and unplanned and completely on a schedule of their own.
