My politics were really radical when I was younger, and then I moderated like everyone else does when they start having kids.

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.

Woody Guthrie was what folks who don't believe in anything would call an anomaly.

I'm not a Democrat; I'm something well to the left of a Democrat, but I'm just realistic about the system.

I don't type fast. I type with three fingers - two on one hand, and I only get one going on the other. I think my thumb's in there, but I'm not sure. I may be no better than an orangutan when it comes to that.

People hate good books to be over. I wish I could write a 700-page book.

You can go out and find ways to make your own record and get it out there now. If you really want to, you can be heard. Keep things simple. Learn to go out and play solo. That's a really really good thing to learn, if you're a singer-songwriter. Don't be dependent on a band because you may not always be able to afford one.
