thinking careers people
The Lilith Fair thing was Bummer Town - hey, hop aboard the marginalizing train. I guess you had people come out of that and have careers, but I think there was a pretty intense backlash, too.
dad kids car
My dad used to love Steely Dan, the Stones, Jethro Tull and all that. There was always Steely Dan going in my dad's car, but I remember The Royal Scam in particular because it has 'Kid Charlemagne' on it.
night half hours
I only listen to my own music when I'm playing an hour-and-half set each night. I don't put it on recreationally.
guitar playing-guitar
I just love playing guitar, so that's what I'm going to do.
men band
I have a great band. Oh, man. I'm so happy about them.
night trying busy
Generally my day-to-day is pretty much the same. Just busy and working and on tour. And trying to put on the best show possible every night.
iron mind wish
I wish I had a gentle mind and a spine made up of iron.
guitar trying body
I guess trying to throw my body into the guitar is so natural for me that I don't even know how to explain it. I can't imagine life without it.
brother sweat arms
Let us love God my brothers, let us love God. But let it be with the strength of our arms and the sweat of our brow.
self indulge-in tools
However great the work that God may achieve by an individual, he must not indulge in self-satisfaction. He ought rather to be all the more humbled, seeing himself merely as a tool which God has made use of.
heart community charity
Charity is the cement that unites communities to God and individuals to each other so that he who contributes to the union of hearts in a community binds it indissolubly to God.
memories guitar instinct
Guitar is just something I can do. So much of it now is muscle memory, just instinct.
needs helping mercy
Extend your mercy towards others, so that there can be no one in need whom you meet without helping. For what hope is there for us if God should withdraw His Mercy from us?
love-you giving insulting
You will find out that Charity is a heavy burden to carry, heavier than the kettle of soup and the full basket. But you will keep your gentleness and your smile. It is not enough to give soup and bread. This the rich can do. You are the servant of the poor, always smiling and good-humored. They are your masters, terribly sensitive and exacting master you will see. And the uglier and the dirtier they will be, the more unjust and insulting, the more love you must give them. It is only for your love alone that the poor will forgive you the bread you give to them.
