This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.

I do know what my songs are about.

The purpose of music is to elevate the spirit and inspire. Not to help push some product down your throat. It puts you in tune with your own existence. Sometimes you really don't know how you feel, but really good music can define how you feel... someone who's telling me where he's been that I haven't and what it's like there - somebody whose life I can feel.

What politics I ever learned, I learned in the streets, because it was part of the environment.

I'll be selling tickets for my next tour exclusively through Jonah Lehrer. Make sure to pay cash.

Now the wintertime is coming The windows are filled with frost I went to tell everybody But I could not get across Well, I wanna be your lover, baby I don't wanna be your boss Don't say I never warned you When your train gets lost.

I stopped smoking. When I stopped smoking, my voice changed... so drastically, I couldn't believe it myself.
