And When You Wake, You Will Fly

I'm A Fairly Tormented Artist, And I'm Less Willing To Indulge Myself In Self-pity, Outside Of Songwriting.

I Don't Feel Like I'm Standing In A Position Where I Have Some Right Above Other People To Say What I Think. We Should All Be Talking To Each Other About What We Think Is Important - Whether We're In Politics, Or Whether We're Checking Out At A Grocery Store. We Shouldn't Put Walls Up Between Each Other.

A Vote For Change Is A Vote For A Stronger, Safer, Healthier America. A Vote For Bush Is A Vote For A Divided, Unstable, Paranoid America. It Is Our Duty To This Beautiful Land To Let Our Voices Be Heard. That's The Reason For The Tour. That's Why I'm Doing It.

A Lot Of The Time, I Write A Lot Of Angry Stuff, But Then I Don't Want To Be A Finger-pointer - I'd Rather Be A Cheerleader Than A Judge. I Don't Want To Preach As If I'm In Some Position Of Righteousness, But I Do Want To Speak My Mind And Scream At The Clouds And Shout Out Of The Pit Of Hopelessness That I Sometimes Think The Human Race Is In.

I Want To Figure Out A Way To Not Be Stupid With Money, Then Make A Whole Bunch Of It, Then I Want To Move To Outer Mongolia. I Want To Milk A Yak. Maybe I'll Just Settle For A Cow.
