I Can't Make You Love Me, If

I Was Raised With The Blessing Of Being Involved With Peace And Social Justice, And The Environmental Movement. I Have My Parents To Thank For That.

I've Been Lucky Enough That I Can Gather All Sorts Of Experiences And Find Inspiration By Traveling Around And By Spending Time With People I Admire.

I Finally Learned To Accept That I Can't Make Radio Play Blues Any More Than I Could Get Reagan Out Of The White House.

I Think We Have Responsibilities To Be Active In The Things We Believe In, Regardless Of What Our Job Is. At Least In My Lifetime, There Has Been A Tremendous Combining Of Activism And Music, That Came Up In The Era Of Pete Seeger And The Weavers And Joan Baez And Bob Dylan And Peter Paul & Mary.

I Don't Know That I'm Unique In That People Relate To My Music, But I Would Hope People Would Say That I'm Honest And That I Do The Best Work I Can Possibly Do Instead Of Coasting.
