I feel that if John Wilkes Booth hadn't shot Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln would have come through his pain and emerged like Livingston has. This album was made with the wisdom that comes from allowing yourself to be recklessly entwined with your agony and sorrow.
Well, I tried to get a record deal in 1966 or '67, and everyone thought I was too eclectic.
Sometimes, but the year I lived in France I started to write songs.
No, because I was always nervous about being onstage.

Not only does the punishment not fit the crime, but the mandatory minimums don't give judges any discretion to look at the background of the case, to read into the specifics of the case. I don't know a judge who really is in favor of the mandatory minimums.
I try to get to those peculiar and particular things that you never think of to say.
