Respect Mother Earth and her giving ways or trade away our children's days.
I want to live, I want to give, I've been a miner for a heart of gold.
We live in the digital age and, unfortunately, it’s degrading our music, not improving it It’s not that digital is bad or inferior, it’s that the way it’s being used isn’t doing justice to the art. The MP3 only has 5 percent of the data present in the original recording. … The convenience of the digital age has forced people to choose between quality and convenience, but they shouldn’t have to make that choice.
I used to walk like a giant on the land. Now I feel like a leaf floating in a stream
It's cool to go places where working people are happy.
Love and only love will endure. Hate is everything you think it is. Love and only love will break it down.
You have to be ready to give everything you have, and you have to make sure you've really got a lot to give. Because if ... you're not ready to give everything you have, ... then you're nothin'.
There was a band playing in my head, And I felt like getting high
Give a hippie too much money and anything can happen.
The devil fools with the best laid plans.
I'll go for things that I know are going to be wrong, with a vengeance
My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.
Back then people closed their eyes and listened to music. Today there's a lot of images that go with the music. A lot of music is crap and it's all commercial and the images are all trying to sell the record.
As soon as you start talking about mystique, you have none.
