I think all of us thought that by the '70s, at the latest the '80s, all the world's problems would be solved and everyone would be getting along fine. And instead we saw that Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated that year, Robert F. Kennedy died. We saw that it was going to be a lot more difficult than I think we had thought.

I want to do some fiction writing, I've had some pretty good luck with short stories, I'd like to do a couple of larger things.

Did you have an awesome time? Did you drink awesome shooters, listen to awesome music, and then just sit around and soak up each others awesomeness?

It's neat to have finally reached a point where I can accept what I was and what I am.

At the end of the day, if you don't have a record contract, a studio or a guitar, you can still write songs. You're still an artist. That's something no one can take away.

It seems to be part of the human condition to need someone you can look down on. I still don't get that one.

Going off the road just leaves me more time to be a writer.
