I Choose Not To Give Energy To

My Dad [johnny Cash] Went To The [richard] Nixon White House And Refused To Sing "welfare Cadillac" (instead Performing The Anti-war Songs "the Ballad Of Ira Hayes" And "man In Black"). He Protested The Vietnam War, But He Went To Perform For The Troops With Bombs Dropping All Around Him. He Had That Kind Of Genius: A True Artist's Capacity For Holding Two Opposing Thoughts At Once While Being Large Enough To Encompass All Realities.

I Adhere To The Religion Of Art And Music And Small Children.

It Was Never Too Late To Undo Who You Had Become.

The Key To Change Is To Let Go Of Fear.

I Found It Was Really Impossible For Me To Write Songs When I Couldn't Sing.
