I think Im different from a lot of singer-songwriters because some of my favorite singer-songwriters told stories. Like John Prine.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a spy detective or a rock star.

I am doomed or fortunate to stick to what I do best.

I would go to heaven, if I believed in heaven.

When I was on the big labels, I never calculated what would make me sell more records. I just did what I did -no different than when I wrote songs for myself in high-school.

I'm a bit of a lefty. I like the idea of art and music collectives.

My first instrument was the drums. Not quite sure why I quit and changed to guitar, but I'm sure my parents might have convinced me that the guitar was way better.
