I never knew anybody who was unhappy with their job and was happy with their life. It's your sense of purpose. Now, some people can find it elsewhere. Some people can work a job and find it some place else.

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.

I was signed to a record label at the same time as my friend Elliot Murphy, who makes great records to this day.

I want a thousand guitars . . .

I think initially, our audiences were filled with young men. You know, our initial audience was a lot of young guys who I think were trying to - who you played a bit of a big brother role for and were trying to sort out a lot of the same things right - soon as "Born To Run" hit, you know? So it was something that I worked pretty hard on.

All I try to do is write music that feels meaningful to me, that has commitment and passion behind it.

Blood moon risin' in a sky of black dust, tell me baby, who do you trust?
