I can't make you love me, if you don't.

It's so thrilling. And not just the music. The Internet is changing the future of fund-raising. I'm thrilled by the potential.

I think we have responsibilities to be active in the things we believe in, regardless of what our job is. At least in my lifetime, there has been a tremendous combining of activism and music, that came up in the era of Pete Seeger and the Weavers and Joan Baez and Bob Dylan and Peter Paul & Mary.

Part of the reason I had such a drive to be an activist, and support other activists, is because I was raised Quaker and my parents kept us very much informed and involved as kids in civil rights and the conservation movement.

I learned by experience that you can change your circumstance. It's as simple as the serenity prayer; it's a very, very real thing.

I finally learned to accept that I can't make radio play blues any more than I could get Reagan out of the White House.

I think my fans will follow me into our combined old age. Real musicians and real fans stay together for a long, long time.
