I want to be a reflection of what's going on and let people draw their own conclusions.

Let's roll for justice, let's roll for truth. Let's not let our children grow up fearful in their youth.

The politics, I don't understand it, I'm not happy, don't feel good about it.

My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.

The money needed to run for office, the money spent on lobbying by special interests, the ever increasing economic disparity and the well-funded legislative decisions all favour corporate interests over the people's.

I didn't really know what I was doing when I started. I just started writing songs. After two songs I just continued to explore it.

In my life I have had various health threats: polio, seizures, a brain aneurysm. None of these things has really changed me much, although it is hard to say for sure. These are events that are part of my life. They make me who I am. I am thankful for them. They are scary.
