Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley through the middle of my soul.

My soul is lost, my friend, tell me how do I begin again? My city's in ruins, my city's in ruins.

No, I always felt that amongst my core fans- because there was a level of popularity that I had in the mid '80s that was sort of a bump on the scale- they fundamentally understood the values that are at work in my work.

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

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.

There's people that get a chance to do the kind of work that changes the world, and make things really different. And there's the kind that just keeps the world from falling apart.

It's always felt natural, because I'm generally very comfortable with people.
