Now that I'm in my 40s, it's much easier to be an artist. It's good knowing that I'm not in the game to be competing with really young groups of kids on the radio. Or to, you know, make 'beat' music.

Are you strong enough to be my man?

Music, art, writing - it gives us a sense of who we are, a sense of our history, a sense of our future and it should provide some kind of comfort. It's not just entertainment for entertainment's sake, it's an investment.

Beatle's wrote the Nike song and called it macaroni.

Lie to me, I promise to believe. Lie to me, but please don't leave.

I'm still the king of me.

Don't the wounded bird still sing?
