The light of the moon is all we've got to go on...

I feel like politics have always informed what I do. If you know anything about my music, you know I've never been shy about stating how I vote.

Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way Mmmmmm, I feel lucky today

When I think of the artists I admire and seek out musically. It's because I'm curious about where they're going to go the next time they have a chance to put a record out. It's not about where I find them on the radio dial, or how many records they're selling.

It's a marvelous feeling when someone says I want to do this song of yours because they've connected to it. That's what I'm after.

So I came home and I had a resume and everything, but the only job experience I had was just playing in bars and clubs on my summers off. So, I was temping and stuff during the day and playing music at night.

You know, I didn't have enough money to quit my day job... the myth of the major label deal. Nowadays, you have a tour bus and a stylist and all this stuff. But back then, no way.
