The point about it is that if you're pointed toward some kind of goodness, some kind of light, something positive, you find your way through these trials and tribulations, ... I've basically dedicated my whole lyrical life to people's ability to cope with the struggle because I do believe there is a struggle. And I don't mean it in a negative sense. I just mean it in a realistic sense. Nothing is greater than staying right on the positive, but sometimes life can have a way of just pulling you back and dragging you a bit.
It's such a legacy, it's insane... even outside of America, CBGB is synonymous with New York, with music.
I think that in order to survive, there's this concept of having bulletproof skin,

Bob Dylan has a way with words that simply blows me away. When he forgets his lyrics he just makes up new ones on the spot, that is what I called talented!
Any reaction is better than none.
I'm not a workaholic, but I was a bit manic, I have to confess.
I'm just thrilled and kind of honored that I still get the chance to do what I love, because that really is the definition of success.
I love what I'm doing most of the time, but it's hard work. People only see your albums in the charts. They see us at award shows and after-show parties. They don't know about your doubts, the hard work that goes in.
