I Learned By Experience That You Can

One Of The Biggest Obstacles I've Overcome In My Life Was Thinking I Didn't Deserve To Be Successful. Artistically I'm Not As Much Of A Heavyweight As Someone Like Paul Simon Or Joni Mitchell, Because I'm Not A Creator Of Original Music, And I Worried About That For Years.

I Don't Want To Discredit People's Opinions Of Me, But You Talk About The Violin Or The Cello Or Lead Guitar Where You Have To Learn Tons Of Chords, That's Much More Difficult.

Those Of Us Who Grew Up In The '50s And '60s, We Had The Dream That This Could Be Turned Around, And The Earth Could Be Back In Balance, And That We Could Level The Playing Field With Men And Women And Pay, And You Know, Minority Groups Having Equal Opportunity. We Just Magically Thought This Was All Going To Happen: We Were Going To Have Clean Food, And Organic This, And Conscious That, And It Just Didn't Happen.

I've Watched My Peers Get Better With Age And Hoped That Would Happen With Me.

I Don't Need Any Drug To Show Me Heaven And I Sure Know How To Spend Plenty Of Time Cleaning Hell But I'm Missin' That Feeling Of Falling.
