When You Love A Song So Much

Elvis Might Have Compromised His Musical Style A Bit Towards The End, But That Doesn't Mean That Artists From The Rock N' Roll/folk-roots Culture - Of Which He Was Not Really A Part - Shouldn't Get Better As They Get Older, Like The Great Jazz Or Blues Artists.

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.

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.

I Finally Learned To Accept That I Can't Make Radio Play Blues Any More Than I Could Get Reagan Out Of The White House.

I'm Happy To Have Been A Positive Influence.
