I do see value in music criticism. Most of the criticism I have received over the years has been very good.

The blues - there's no black and white - it's the truth.

Meet them halfway with love, peace, and persuasion, and expect them to rise for the occasion.

It will make you feel good, and it will make you feel whole, when the spirit moves you and it fills you through and through.

Hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic.

Britain is not the same anymore of course. It's never the same.

I've been in America for almost ten years. I've had many parts of the American experience. I've been all over this country and seen many different parts of it. It's just that I'm not an American. I've never become an American. I'm talking about the whole thing-psychologically, citizenship, the whole trip. Of course I've definitely been influenced by America-I'm definitely influenced by the music and the culture.
