I love Obama's calm and dignity. A lot of people confuse that with being aloof, but I know people that have held that job. It's a 24-hour barrage of information.

picked
Language is an inadequate form of communication. If you've picked up an instrument, it's because you don't feel you are communicating sufficiently.

I don't set out to write a political song. I am not one of those that feels compelled to write about what's going on.

I've learned you can't write on a computer on a bus. It jiggles too much, especially an Apple. The keyboard jiggles around too much, and there are too many typos.
