Baptists Burn More Slowly.

I Don't Mind Being Labeled As A Political Songwriter. I've Chosen To Do That. What Really Annoys Me Is Being Dismissed As A Political Songwriter. That Really Pains Me, Because Life Isn't All About Love; It's Not All About Politics, Either. It's A Beautiful Mixture Of Events That Absolutely Baffle You, And You Think, "why Can't I Do Something About That?", Whether Those Events Are In Your Bedroom, Or Out There In The Wide World. In Our Daily Lives We Engage With Them At Different Times, And I'm Trying To Write About The Whole Human Experience, Or My Perspective On It Anyway.
