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

I like to go in right away as soon as I have things.

I think the ultimate result of it is you can get inside the record.

I was a Reagan backer. It was a shock for some people that I could agree with anything that man would say.

I have no idea who's steering, and I don't really care .. I just keep going whatever the inclination is ... there are threads that are continuous and hold everything together and a major thread is country music.

My songs speak for themselves. The musicians who play on them and the way they sound and where they were recorded and the way they were recorded is the old Nashville way ... they sound as country or more country than a lot of things that are on country radio.

With Crazy Horse, it's all one big, growing, smoldering sound, and I'm part of it. It's like gliding, or some sort of natural surfing.
