There Are A Lot Of People That

I Grew Up In Los Angeles In A Quaker Family, And For Me Being Quaker Was A Political Calling Rather Than A Religious One.

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.

'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.

There Were So Many Great Music And Political Scenes Going On In The Late '60s In Cambridge. The Ratio Of Guys To Girls At Harvard Was Four To One, So All Of Those Things Were Playing In My Mind.

Part Of The Reason I Had Such A Drive To Be An Activist, And Support Other Activists, Is Because I Was Raised Quaker And My Parents Kept Us Very Much Informed And Involved As Kids In Civil Rights And The Conservation Movement.
