song writing remembers-everything
I can still write blues songs because I remember everything.
moving keys would-be
You have to be able to grow and move with the organism that is the music industry. You need to maintain flexibility. Ownership of your own stuff is key and then you're able to dictate on a present-terms basis what would be the most effective way to protect yourself and what you've created. You also don't want to lock yourself into a situation where a major label owns part of your touring and merchandise.
eagles years jam
I remember back in 1994 when the Eagles charged more than $100 for tickets. They said, 'We ain't Pearl Jam.' That's back when records were selling and the Eagles had sold just about as many as anyone on the planet. And years later we're still charging less than them.

I believe in the power of music. To me, it isn't just a fad. This is a positive thing.

Die on a hilltop... eyeing the crows... waiting for your lids to close... but you want to watch as they peck your flesh... Ironic that they go for the eyes first...
wish may matter
You feel that no matter what's said in the music or how pointed it may get, the most you can wish for is that it plants a few seeds.
art thinking may
Though some may think there should be a separation between art/music and politics, it should be reinforced that art can be a form of nonviolent protest.
frustration understanding mature
You mature as far as your understanding of what it's going to take, and you increase your stamina. You don't let frustration overtake you when you're looking for change.
love beautiful sky
i know someday you'll have a beautiful life. I know you'll be a sun in somebody else's sky. But why can't it be mine?
dream sleep cant-sleep
If he can't sleep, how will he ever dream?
beautiful trying lines
There's been times when I've been standing in a line at a movie and someone's hit me with something really heavy about someone really close and how our music has helped them get through it. Even in our darkest moments we try and find something beautiful.
baseball interesting league
The interesting thing is that it seems like George W. Bush would have been happy being the president of anything. He could have been president of Major League Baseball.

Sometimes, whether you like it or not, people elevate you. It's real easy to fall.
