writing years people
The best compliment I get every year is that a band will write me and say, 'We were just on tour, and we had people coming to our show saying they had never heard us before they heard us on your show.'
writing trying heartbreaking
Trying to write music, be in a band and keep it all happening is one of the hardest, morale-destroying, heartbreaking things you will ever try to do - and that's when it's going well.
people care dont-care
I like people. Rightwingers don't. They like business, they don't care about people. I like education, they seem not to care much about it.
achievement doe looks
Music to me is mankind's greatest possible achievement because look at all the good it does.
love-is damage
Love beyond the damage.
believe president building
I don't believe it mattered to Timothy McVeigh who was president or who his congressional representative was when he blew up the Murrah Building in 1995.
pain sadness thinking
I think that humans have a huge capacity to carry pain and sadness. There are things that haunt us our entire lives; we are unable to let them go. The good times seem almost effervescent and dreamlike in comparison with the times that didn't go so well.
believe kentucky whales
I believe that capitalism, at least how it's used by major corporations, and environmental concerns are in opposition. To be ecologically aware, productivity of many things would slow down at least for awhile. Stockholders don't want to hear about the saving of the whales or some stream in Kentucky. They want a return on their investment.
slow-motion life-is
Life is death in slow motion.
problem easy solutions
The easy solution isn't the solution, it's the problem.
Without an education, you won't have a future
blow talking ideas
The talking shows are like free jazz. I'm just gonna go out there and blow with the idea of keeping it streamlined and not wasting time. It's wild. And it's a great thing when you see a performer really able to.
wish want i-can
I can die anytime I want. I wish I could do the same with life.
teenager taken numbers
I have lived in public as a somewhat recognizable person since I was a teenager. Emails I answer end up posted on sites; pictures of me and someone I just met, taken by a cellphone, literally number in the thousands and are easily accessed.
