I was looking for some way to put my music to some service on a nightly basis. You go into a town, you play a little music, you leave something behind. That idea connected us to the local community. It was a very simple idea, but it really resonated with me.

Music doesn't tell you where to go. It says, go find your own place. That's what it told me.

I think if somebody comes up and simply says, your jobs? I'm going to bring them back. You're not comfortable with the browning of America? I'm going to build a wall. ISIS, I'm going to defeat them. Those are very - it's a simple, but it was a compelling message for a lot of people.

Let's raise our glass and let the hammer fly, yeah, this is the long good-bye.

I had no credit cards. I had no checks. I was cash only until I was probably 30 years old.

It took quite a bit of work and time and mistakes to begin to feel - to understand the strength that comes along with building a home life.That was very mysterious to me. I was very skeptical of it for a long time, and didn't understand it fully until Patti [ Scialfa] and I got together.

You use to drive me wild, but lately you get your kicks from just knocking me down, down, down.
