Think I'll roll another number for the road

I like it if people enjoy what I'm doing, but if they don't, I also like it. I sometimes really like aggravating people with what I do. I think it's good for them.

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

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 was a band playing in my head, And I felt like getting high

Southern change gonna come at last! Now your crosses are burning fast, Southern Man.

Commitments are one of the worst things to have in the music business. They're very annoying.
