This little four-string songwriting tool started changing the way I brought songs to the group.

I'm angry that George Bush got to be in the White House, and I'm angry that [Al] Gore wasn't able to be a better candidate after eight years of a great economy and being an incumbent.

Darkness comes in waves...tell me, why invite it to stay?

I probably get strangers coming up to me two or three times a week to just say something nice.

There's a lot of bands that get to a certain level, and it just stops. They scrap it. Compare this to, say, The Rolling Stones or The Who, where they just continued on forever and are still playing, or they quit after 20 years.

Dream the dreams of other men, you'll be no ones rival.

It seems like a necessary balance to life, being part of the community.
