I was always concerned with writing to my age at a particular moment. That was the way I would keep faith with the audience that supported me as I went along.

The audiences are there as a result of my history with the band but also as a result of my being able to reach people with a tune.

I cut my bow from the wood of this tree of evil. Of this tree of good, I want a kiss from your lips.

You can't have a United States if you are telling some folks that they can't get on the train. There is a cracking point where a society collapses.

They say "ya gotta stay hungry"... Hey Baby...I'm just about starvin' tonight!

The future is now. Roll up your sleeves and let your passion flow. The country we carry in our hearts is waiting.

On any given night, what allows me to get to that higher ground is the audience.
