Sergeant O'leary Is Walking The Beat, At Night He Becomes A Bar Tender.

I Have A Theory That The Only Original Things We Ever Do Are Mistakes.

I Always Wrote The Music First, And The Music Gave Me The Mood And The Lyrics Were Pretty Much Put In To Give You A Map, Where That Mood Came From And Where It's Going. But My First Love Was Really The Music Itself, And I Guess I've Gone Back To That.

When I See An Entire Community Disenfranchised, It Disturbs Me. Not That I'm A Message Guy, Per Se. I Write About People. I Like To Write About Human Beings, Not Crap Political Rhetoric. I've Tried To Avoid That All My Life. When I Wrote About Soldiers In Vietnam, I Wasn't Trying To Make A Political Statement. I Was Trying To Write About How Screwed Things Were For Soldiers, And How They Still Are.

I Consider Myself To Be An Inept Pianist, A Bad Singer, And A Merely Competent Songwriter. What I Do, In My Opinion, Is By No Means Extraordinary.
