white singers musician
I'd have to say that Kenny White has earned a place among my favorite singer/songwritersand particularly, lyricists. As we say in the trade “he goes deep.” A true wordsmith AND musician who reveals a fine sense of humor, as well. Put on your headphones and listen carefully.
music purpose driven
Generally we don't really consciously do it as a purpose-driven thing. ... It's really just a response to life.
music wall hands
Right away I thought I'd been hit by a hand grenade ... her (Joni Mitchells') voice, those words ... she nailed me to the back wall with two-inch spikes... I promptly fell in love with her...

Neil Young played Helpless, and by the time he finished, we were asking him if we could join his band
music writing years
I write very sporadically. I write sometimes three things in a week and then nothing for a year. I make a space for it but I don't push it. They just come and they come.
music baby writing
You tend to write as you get older about family love more than you write about romantic love or ooh baby. ... The stuff that you want to celebrate about humanity has always been there and probably always will be.
responsibility musical treasure
I've been given a gift [musical talent] - don't misuse it. I spent a lot of time just wasting that talent, not treasuring it, not valuing it, not respecting it, just taking it for granted. That was a hard lesson to learn. It doesn't come for free. Don't do that. Treasure it, respect it, treat it as a responsibility that you've been given, and enjoy the hell out of it.
song schedules
My songs emerge from my life, or wherever they do, unbidden and unplanned and completely on a schedule of their own.
song i-can happens
I can't legislate a song into being; it just will not happen for me.
writing attention drunkenness
While I was an addict, I didn't write anything. I didn't have the attention span or the will.
years sea class
When I was 11 years old, my parents wanted me to do something besides get in trouble. So they enrolled me in sailing classes at the Sea Shell Association in Santa Barbara, Calif. From the moment I climbed into that 8-foot dinghy in 1952, I knew instinctively what to do and sensed I had done it before.
ocean mean sea
It's hard to bullshit the ocean. It's not listening, you know what I mean.
truth freedom knowledge
"It can't happen here" is number one on the list of famous last words.
girl song writing
The easiest way to get laid by a girl, or get rid of her, is to write a song about her.
