But when you know that you've got a real friend somewhere, suddenly all the others are so much easier to bear.

People know more about baseball players contracts than they do about the policies that govern the fate of our childrens lives in twenty years. Think about it. People used to say, the whole time I was growing up, Do you want to bring a child into this world? Thats pretty dire.

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say, it could be that I've lost my way.

I've also gotten to play in front of a million people in Central Park when there was a grass roots movement calling for nuclear disarmament - it was about 1982 - they called it Peace Sunday.

Got seven women on my mind. Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me, and one says she's a friend of mine.
