Pearl Jam is a band I have a lot of respect for. Nirvana and Sonic Youth I feel the same way about. Mumford & Sons, My Morning Jacket, Wilco, Givers, and Foo Fighters are just some of my favorites. I respect bands that give me something of themselves that I can feel. ("Posing" bands turn me off generally speaking.) It all has to do with a feeling I have about them. That is what music is to me, a feeling. It's similar with people too.

There's more to a picture than meets the eye.

Most people think it's the other way around: that time is going faster and we're doing less. But really time seems to be going faster because we're cramming so much into it.

I love it when people yell at me about the environment and then I tell 'em I'm burning 90% cleaner than them.

You are like a hurricane, there's calm in your eyes, and I'm getting blown away.

Said the condor to the preying mantis, we're gonna lose this place just like we lost Atlantis.

Like a mountain that's growing.
