followed music
I just always wanted to play music and everything that followed from that just tumbled on, one thing to the next.
biggest decision far hope protest
This will be our biggest protest so far and we hope that it facilitates the right decision being made quickly.
writing discipline want
I continue to write. It's just one of those things that I do. I'll have periods when I write and periods when I don't. But you don't want it to become a discipline really. If it becomes a discipline, it becomes a chore and that's no good.
years two numbers
When you are in a band for a number of years you loose your identity in a way. You become a part of that band and then all of a sudden you are not part of that band. You are still the band without the other two members.
humble giving way
Walking through the Capitol Building gives you a sense of how it all began here. It was reassuring to see how restrained it was. It was very humble in a way.
heart play differences
When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.
fun self people
Philosophically, what I have learned is to thy own self be true. That is the biggest lesson of all. Relax; music is fun. To many people take it to seriously because of the money involved.
cities shopping healthy
You want each city to be different, not just see the same shopping malls and stores wherever you go. That's not healthy.
mean air gypsy
I understand travel. I understand the experience of travel. I mean there is something of the "air-conditioned gypsy" in me.
unique unique-experiences songwriting
I couldn't say there is a formula to songwriting. Each time is a unique experience.
emotional soul music-is
Music is an emotional experience, and that is what imprints itself on the soul.
