I'm in a rock band - I don't have a day job! I am spoiled... a lot.

It may take me a long time before I feel 'ready' to tour as a lead singer. I may never be ready... we'll just have to see.

I think it's evident that expensive neighborhoods in Seattle are surrounded by natural beauty. That elevates city life. So if we can make cities more attractive in the long run, we can be smarter about issues like development, zoning and economics.

Politics is tricky; it cuts both ways. Every time you make a choice, it has unintended consequences.

I liked the banana-seat bikes with the high handlebars - maybe a card in the wheel could have been part of it.

Call it holistic or holographic thinking, it's been quite effective imagining the world's problems are all right in front of you on a smaller scale with your band. You deal with those relationships, and that's where real major change begins.

I really enjoy not getting in a car and running errands on bikes.
