As you do with any band you're in, you get to know everyone too well all too soon. When you're crammed into a small space, proximity leads to familiarity.

I don't have many friends so the phone doesn't ring and no one's asking me to go out and go dancing with them.

I'm disappointed by bands left and right, every day.

Life is death in slow motion.

But can a song stop a war? If Bob Marley and Bob Dylan couldn't do it, it can't be done.

I contribute a large amount of money to the Southern Poverty Law Center, so I'm on their mailing list for all their Klan Watch newsletters. I'm very well aware of White Power movements in America.

Being an artist is dragging your innermost feelings out, giving a piece of yourself, no matter in which art form, in which medium.
