It doesn't mean that much to me to mean that much to you.
I don't have to perform to stay in the public eye anymore. I really don't. I am who I am and what I do on musical stage these days really makes no difference at all. I already have all the momentum there. I am only doing it because I love to do it.
I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.
Freedom of choice is meaningless without knowledge. That's why it's crucial we all get engaged and get informed.
As I get older, I get smaller. I see other parts of the world I didn't see before. Other points of view. I see outside myself more.
Corporations don't have children. They don't have feelings or souls. They don't depend on uncontaminated water, clean air, or healthy food to survive. They are beholden to one thing - the bottom line.
The thing about my music is, there really is no point.
Without freedom of expression, good taste means nothing.
I don't force it. If you don't have an idea and you don't hear anything going over and over in your head, don't sit down and try to write a song. You know, go mow the lawn...My songs speak for themselves.
As you go through life, you've got to see the valleys as well as the peaks.
If you follow every dream, you might get lost.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
I don't like the current political system in the USA and some other countries. Increasingly, democracy has been hijacked by corporate interests.
Holding back is so close to stealing.
