Like A Boxer In A Title Fight,

I Started Just Concentrating On Songwriting When I Was Abut 20; I'd Been In Rock Bands Six Or Seven Years, Kinda Got That Out Of My System, I Said, "ok, You Ain't Gonna Be A Rock Star, You Don't Look Like A Rock Star, It Probably Ain't Gonna Happen. So What You Should Do Is Write Songs And Maybe Other People Will Do Your Songs."

You Can Pay Uncle Sam With All Your Overtime, Is That All You Get For Your Money?

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.

You May Be Right, I May Be Crazy, But It Just Might Be A Lunatic You're Looking For

My Songs Are Like My Kids.
