And the music, as far as a type of music, it's still pretty viable.

I don't cringe when I think of doing old material. A lot of the people have been with me through the years.

Folk-rock hasn't changed much over the decades since the Byrds started it.

You don't see a lot of difference between the Gin Blossoms and the Byrds.

I've had an advantage; I've had a sort of open public acceptance in New York that doesn't happen to just anyone trying to make the transition you were talking about.

It's often said that life is strange. But compared to what?

I relate to the audiences and they know me. It's pretty real.
