fun long-ago lists
I wouldn't be interested in just doing a show that's mapped out and choreographed with a set list. That would've been boring so long ago it just wouldn't be any fun.
trying
I'm not trying to be the new anybody.
funeral strange life-is
It's often said that life is strange. But compared to what?
rocks changed folks
Folk-rock hasn't changed much over the decades since the Byrds started it.
shows songs
It's not like making records is terrible. Still, I do find the writing of the songs and the live shows to be the things that give you the most clear picture of what it's all about.
song people challenges
But I'm able to just keep going, and that's the challenge. It's the next song. And then just enjoying the shows and people who come out to the shows. It's pretty organic, really.
thinking years people
I don't cringe when I think of doing old material. A lot of the people have been with me through the years.
new-york acceptance talking
I've had an advantage; I've had a sort of open public acceptance in New York that doesn't happen to just anyone trying to make the transition you were talking about.
