For The First Time In 23 Years I'm Enjoying The Process Of Supporting It, Of Going Out And Doing Shows, And Doing The Interviews, And Doing Everything.

Just A Thank You Is A Mighty Powerful Prayer. Says It All.

The Religion I Have Is Music. Even The Times I Have Headaches, When I'm Singing, I Can't Feel Them. My Dad Used To Say That, Too, Especially Near The End Of His Life. He Would Be In Pain - A Lot Of Pain - And He Said The Only Time When He Didn't Feel Pain Was When He Performed And Sang.

Sarah Palin Is A Great Example Of Someone That Just Stirs The Pot For The Sake Of The Attention. No Vision, No Critical Thinking, No Backup To Her Statements. Just To Incite Little Riots Everywhere And Capitalize Upon It Financially. To Me, She Is A Microcosm Of The Ultimate Cynicism In American Politics.

Think About All Of The Families Where The Father Is A Doctor And The Son Is A Doctor Or Generations Of Coal Miners. Why Did They Go Into That Line Of Work? Because That's What They Were Taught. Or Was It In Their Genes? It's Not An Either/or Question. It's Both. I Was Inclined In That Way. I Was Sensitive To Music And Poetry, And It Was Around Me Growing Up.
