As I get older, I get smaller. I see other parts of the world I didn't see before. Other points of view. I see outside myself more.

I trust people. So I make my music for people not for candidates.

All the things I used to count on to get my music out there - record companies, they're all gone. And radio stations, they're gone - they're completely controlled by the government. If they're not controlled by the government, they're controlled by a programmer who's controlled by the government. Mainstream radio is suspect. You can't trust it.

There's a lot of frustration in trying to get music out when you're the only one who hears it, especially if you have something in your head that's not normal.

Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle for where we're going. There's something ahead worth fighting for.

Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you were.

Remember when you used to watch TV in the Sixties and you'd see Perry Como in a cashmere sweater? That's what rock 'n' roll is becoming. It's your parents' music.
