And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's seems, It would be easier sometimes to change the past.

The biggest influence? I've had several at different times - but the biggest for me was Bob Dylan, who was a guy that came along when I was twelve or thirteen and just changed all the rules about what it meant to write songs.

Lighten up while you still can, don't even try to understand. Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy.

Famine and disaster, right there in front of you, and the more you watch, the less you do.

I'd have to say that my favorite thing is writing a song that really says how I feel, what I believe - and it even explains the world to myself better than I knew it.

Caught between the longing for love, and the struggle for the legal tender, where the sirens sing and the church bells ring, and the junk man pounds his fender. Where the veterans dream of the fight, fast asleep at the traffic light, and the children solemnly wait for the ice cream vendor.

These days I seem to think about the things I forgot to do for you and all the times I had a chance to.
