I Speak My Mind And Come From

Nobody Went Out To Pasture, And A Lot Of People Are Doing Their Best Work. Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, And Sting Are At The Top Of Their Game. I Mean, Tony Bennett Is The Coolest Guy I Ever Met! We Have To Figure Out How To Break Out Of This Age Ghetto.

I Learned A Lot About What It Was Like To Have To Use Different Hotels And Not Use The Bathrooms, Which Made Me More Determined To Be An Activist.

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 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 Will Not Be Broken' Has Really Become Very Healing For Me. Any Time You Go Through A Cataclysmic Event... It's Going To Inform The Richness That You Sing From... The Experiences Of Life Make All Your Emotions, I Think, Deeper.
