I'm always open to new stuff. I don't sit and try to figure out what to do, I just wait for an idea to come.
My life is not a political campaign. I just write about what is on my mind. I just play whatever I feel like playing. Whatever is in my soul at the time is what I want to do. I have, thank god, enough people who are still interested in what I am doing so that I can go out and keep doing it.
I trust people. So I make my music for people, not for candidates.
The money needed to run for office, the money spent on lobbying by special interests, the ever-increasing economic disparity, and the well-funded legislative decisions, all favor corporate interests over the people.
I do not trust self-serving misinformation coming from corporations and their media trolls. I do not trust politicians who are taking millions from those corporations, either. I trust people. So I make my music for people, not for candidates.
When I speak out on corporations hurting the common man or the environment or other species, I expect a well-financed disinformation campaign to be aimed my way.
Mothers need to know what they are feeding their children. They need the freedom to make educated choices at the market.
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow, the drummer relaxes in between shows with his cinnamon girl.
What's female beauty, but an air divine, thro' which the mind's all gentle graces shine? They, like the sun, irradiate all between; the body charms because the soul is seen.
Possessions and concessions are not often what they seem, they drag you down and load you down in disguise of security.
People don't normally change when things are going well. But I want to see what's next and keep moving. That keeps things fresh.
The Arabic states have to be integrated into the Iraqi reconstruction. We need the help of the Arabic community, which understands its culture. Americans arrive, invade, occupy.
The politics, I don't understand it, I'm not happy, don't feel good about it.
No one has the answers, but one thing is true. You got to turn on evil, when its coming after you.
