The land of opportunity spawned a whole new breed of men without souls.
I have a certain pool of subject matter that I like to write about, things that interest me: politics, religion, ecology, and relationships between men and women. And that's usually what I focus on.
An angry man can only get so far until he reconciles the way he thinks.
The government bugged the men's room in the local disco lounge.
Cause a man with a briefcase can steal more money than any man with a gun.
I played drums on Keith Carradine's first record.
In forty-five minutes, it'll all be done. We'll all be good and crispy, but we'll still be number one.
I was flying back from Lubbock and I saw Jesus on the plane, or maybe it was Elvis. You know, they kind of look the same.
Between each album I try to gain a new insight that I didn't have before and perhaps write a song about something that I've written about before, but from a fresh viewpoint.
If dirt were dollars, I wouldn't have to worry anymore.
It was a pretty good year for predators.
For you girl, there is not enough love in the world.
It was pretty frightening because as we all know, when large, famous groups breakup, a lot of the members don't survive in solo careers.
I'm certainly not thrilled with everything the Eagles did, but there are some things I'm quite proud of.
