I love baseball. I'll probably end up one of those old farts who go to spring training in Florida every year and drive from game to game all day.

Townes Van Zandt is the best songwriter in the whole world, and I'll stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and say that.

My gift's primarily literary. That being said, I ended up a musician. By the time I made the bluegrass record...I'm more impressed with myself when I push the envelope musically than I am when I push it literality.

I have a low tolerance for mediocrity in music and life. I'm into pain and joy and the in-between doesn't interest me.

My main area of activism is the death penalty, and it will continue to be once this crisis is over with.

Gregory Corso used to get really pissed when people called Bob Dylan a 'poet.' After writing poetry for a few years, I can understand that.

I don't usually read reviews.
