When I came to California, it was the mecca of the world. Every young person on the planet wanted to be here.

But now old friends are acting strange They shake their heads, they say I've changed Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day

I couldn't see passion as a bad thing.

Lazy reviewers look up other people's reviews and they write the same thing, so you get people writing crap based on crap.

Back then, I didn't have a big organization around me. I was just a kid with a guitar, traveling around. My responsibility basically was to the art, and I had extra time on my hands. There is no extra time now. There isn't enough time.

I believe that I am male and I am female.

I came through folk music simply because it was easy to get into it.
