music asking band
Neil Young played Helpless, and by the time he finished, we were asking him if we could join his band
truth freedom knowledge
"It can't happen here" is number one on the list of famous last words.
thinking people important
Describing Woodstock as the "big bang," I think that's a great way to describe it, because the important thing about it wasn't how many people were there or that it was a lot of truly wonderful music that got played.
falling-in-love firsts albums
I produced her first album, and I was breaking up with her at the time. That was not comfortable. Falling in love with Joni Mitchell is a bit like falling into a cement mixer!
song real writing
The fact is that all the recording science and technology in the world is no substitute for a good song or for real feeling. Music is about feeling and if there isn't any genuine feeling, if the song isn't about anything that anyone gives a damn about, there's nothing you can do. All the technique that exists won't make it any good; it'll just make it technological. All the production values you add won't do anything except make it glossy.

Then there's those where it's like my mother was raped by a martian and that kind of thing. National Enquirer-type stuff. They just make it up.
smart thinking perspective
I have a pretty clear picture of the whole weight of my life, and there are things that I've done that are good, and I'm proud of them. There are things that I'm really not proud of, and that they, you have to look at me with a perspective, and I try really hard to do that, to keep from thinking I'm cool and ever so smart.
powerful thinking ideas
I think ideas are still the most powerful things on the planet, and music is a great way to transmit them.
people looks
There are a lot of people who look great but can't sing.
businesses future homes wonder
Their homes are gone; their businesses swamped. They wonder what the future holds,
longest love miles spent weeks
I love voyaging - the longest has been 3,000 miles to Hawaii. I've also spent weeks all over the Caribbean.

We've all been friends for a long time. And when the vibe's good we really have a lot of fun with each other.
