I'm an example of someone who never made it to university. I did have this dream to be a musician. I felt that this dream had an expiration date.

Die on a hilltop... eyeing the crows... waiting for your lids to close... but you want to watch as they peck your flesh... Ironic that they go for the eyes first.

Though some may think there should be a separation between art/music and politics, it should be reinforced that art can be a form of nonviolent protest.

I remember back in 1994 when the Eagles charged more than $100 for tickets. They said, 'We ain't Pearl Jam.' That's back when records were selling and the Eagles had sold just about as many as anyone on the planet. And years later we're still charging less than them.

I'll ride the wave, where it takes me!

I'm making music for music's sake, and I have an audience I'm proud of.

It's not a bad time to be me.
