song chicago kind
I love songs, and I love songwriting, and there's a standard of songwriting within Chicago blues in particular. I don't like the sad blues, necessarily; the Chicago blues is what I like, which is the kind of blues you can dance to.
spiritual believe rocks
I don't believe in any kind of artistic snobbery or musical snobbery. You know, to me, the sexiest and the most spiritual words ever uttered in rock and roll are wop babaloo balop bam boom.
beautiful people islam
Islam - a religion horribly misrepresented by terrorists, which is like the IRA saying they represented Irish people. Islam is a BEAUTIFUL religion. would make you cry it's so beautiful... and gentle.
pain self-esteem people
You have to hide what you are and it's really stressful and very bad for your self esteem. Because it's not obvious to people that you are ill, they treat you as if you're a pain in the ass, then you beat yourself up and you are already beating yourself up as a part of mental illness.
song writing voice
We have a tradition of passing our history orally and singing a lot of it and writing songs about it and there's kind of a calling in Irish voices when they're singing in their Irish accent.
lying heart people
When you dishonor the the utter glory and majesty of black people, you lie. Your heart lies to you and you let it
truth mean thinking
Maybe it was mean, but I really don't think so. You asked for the truth and I told you.
song rope kind
Songs are like ropes that you can kind of hang on to or pull yourself up on.
powerful self-esteem magic
I suppose is very cathartic to do a show to the masses and you get to make magic in a manner that you can't do in regular life, but I suppose that self esteem effect is one of the most powerful.
doctors people pressure
I was getting a lot of pressure from people in show business about my being overweight because of medication, I was on 200 mg of amitriptiline. When I said this to my doctor, for some reason she took me completely off medication and she didn't really supervise properly.
simple people complicated
I understand that we are actually complicated people but we are also dreadfully simple.
caring essence earth
At some point the entire population of the earth is gonna have to look back at the kind of essence of spirituality which is basically caring about each other.

children people parent
As a parent, I don't really want my child to know about all this horrible violence that people seem to be wanting to tell them every time they go to buy some candy.
