This is an election year, and I think we're in desperate trouble and it's time for people to speak up and not pipe down.

Marijuana has a lot of very good medical uses, and I truly believe it should be legal, but for just recreational use it wasn't my drug. I didn't like it.

Music is a work in progress. On a record, it gets frozen in time. And it's oddly unnatural.
