My Career Is Based On The Slow

I Thought I Had To Live That Partying Lifestyle In Order To Be Authentic, But In Fact If You Keep It Up Too Long, All You're Going To Be Is Sloppy Or Dead.

It Is Still A Surprise When People Tell Me That I've Had An Influence On Them, Particularly When It's Someone I Really Respect.

Distribution Has Really Changed. You Can Make A Record With A Laptop In The Morning And Have It Up On Youtube In The Afternoon And Be A Star Overnight. The Talent On Youtube Is Incredible, And It Can Spread Like Wildfire. The Downside Is That It's Very Hard To Convince The Younger Generation That They Should Pay For Music.

The Connection Between Toxicity And Cancer And Safe Air And Water And Food, All Of That Was Important All Along, As Were Women's And Human Rights Issues, But The Nuke Issue And The Safe Energy Movement Became Really Important To Me In The Mid-'70s.

I Think My Fans Will Follow Me Into Our Combined Old Age. Real Musicians And Real Fans Stay Together For A Long, Long Time.
