thinking pot smoke
I do like to smoke pot. I think it's good.
music mean thinking
The greatest thing is the internet and that means that anybody, you have just as much access as I do. And you can make your little tape and work on it and work on it until you got it the way you want it. And then you can put it on the net. And if it's any damn good somebody's gonna notice. That's happened over and over again now. To me that's good. That's good access that isn't controlled by the companies. I think that's a great thing.
thinking people important
Describing Woodstock as the "big bang," I think that's a great way to describe it, because the important thing about it wasn't how many people were there or that it was a lot of truly wonderful music that got played.
stars war thinking
The movie I've seen the most times, boy, that's a tough one. It would have to be a toss-up between Apocalypse Now and the first Star Wars. I think the first Star Wars.
smart thinking perspective
I have a pretty clear picture of the whole weight of my life, and there are things that I've done that are good, and I'm proud of them. There are things that I'm really not proud of, and that they, you have to look at me with a perspective, and I try really hard to do that, to keep from thinking I'm cool and ever so smart.
stupid thinking water
I don't think being angry is useful or healthy, and usually when I get angry, my brain just goes right out the window. Boom, as soon as the adrenaline hits, instant stupid. Just add water and mix.
powerful thinking ideas
I think ideas are still the most powerful things on the planet, and music is a great way to transmit them.
fun thinking guilty
I am having so much fun performing, I feel almost guilty. I think, my God, I hope no one comes and busts me for this.
became britney deep experience front mtv musical spears suddenly theatrical turned vh1
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.
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.
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.
happened strangest
It was probably the strangest thing that's ever happened in the world,
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.
needs wells decided
When did I decide to go into business? Well, it wasn't a business, when I decided. It was simply a need to sing.
