A good song reminds us what we're fighting for.

Many Americans knew their lives and their souls were being struggled for, and they fought for it. And I felt I should carry on.

Work in nightclubs was interesting. There were interesting people and places, but by and large, the commercial music experience.

I was never enthusiastic about being somebody who was supposed to be silent about being a member of something.

When will we ever learn? When will we ever learn?

I'm not sure if my involvement in causes, benefits, marches, and demonstrations has made a huge difference, but I know one thing: that involvement has connected me with the good people: people with the live hearts, the live eyes, the live heads.

Anybody who wants to learn everything is pretty stupid. You learn what you can.
