I think the tax cut is ridiculous but so am I.

The best of my songs are more than just a joke. There's something else going on - a character, or it's not just a plain joke.

This is the Republican Party who has run against Russia for 80 years and you know, (Trump) hasn't mentioned (Putin) except in a positive way.

"Rednecks" always made me nervous to play, but I'm glad I wrote it and I continue to play it. It's just that the language is so rough.

Things aren't black and white in the world.

Mostly, I don't write overtly personal stuff.

I started recording because I was always complaining about the records that I was getting of my songs. At least if I did them and messed them up, I wouldn't have anyone else to blame.
