The '60s was one of the first times the power of music was used by a generation to bind them together.

I just do what I do. I like to make music

I try not to look back. I'm looking forward. I'm worried more about what I'm going to do next week than I am what I did last week. There are too many things to do. Looking back is for everybody else.

There were some things Reagan liked that I liked. The main component was that people have to talk to each other and help themselves.

People don't normally change when things are going well. But I want to see what's next and keep moving. That keeps things fresh.

All I'm doing is writing it down and putting it in a cadence. Once I get into a cadence, then why should I even stop and wonder what it is? You can do that for the rest of your life, but when it's coming out, you don't want to stop it.

Being a musician enables a person to bend the notes and express things that are inside you, no matter what.
