I Just Want To Be As Good

Life Gets Mighty Precious When There's Less Of It To Waste.

How Unthinkable That, In A Country Of Such Bursting Plenty, So Many People Are Facing Ongoing Hunger And Poverty.

A Lot Of Political Music To Me Can Be Rather Pedantic And Corny, And When It's Done Right - Like Bruce Springsteen Or Jackson Browne Or Great Satire From Randy Newman, There's Nothing Better.

The Generation I Grew Up In Was The Beginning Of "stand Up For Yourself," Whether Being A Singer-songwriter Or A Feminist. In My College Years, The Feminist Movement Was Really Coming To Fore, So We Wouldn't Have Put Up With Guys Treating Us Less Than Equal.
