I Hear Melodies And Hooks All Day.

I Think It's A Bit Of A Myth That Black Americans Need One Leader. We're Not A Monolith. And Now That Legal Segregation And Discrimination Has Been Pretty Much Abolished There Isn't The Sort Of Universal Mandate That A Black Leader Would Have. Black Folks Live In A Wide Variety Of Social Situations Right Now.

You Believe In Equality For Women And Men. And That Means That, Not Only Do You Believe In It Kind Of In The Abstract But You Actively Think People Should Seek It When It Comes To The Way You Hire People, The Way You Compensate People, The Way You Treat Women And Men In Professional Settings And School, Whatever The Case, Giving Them Equal Opportunities Without Disadvantaging Them Because Of Their, For The Fact That They're Women. And To Me That's What It Means For Me To Be A Feminist. I Don't Think It's That Controversial.

I Wrote The Song "show Me" As A Prayer To God Asking Simple, Honest Questions About Life And Death And Why There Is So Much Suffering In The World. As I Grew With The Song I Realized I Shouldn't Limit These Questions Solely To God; I Should Ask Those Questions Of Others And Of Myself.

There's A Certain Confidence That Comes With Being Sure About The Way The World Works.

That's The Evergreen Nature Of A Great Song. They Can Be Resurrected. They Can Be Covered. They Can Find New Relevance Due To Changing Circumstances In History.
