Going For Constant Growth Is Not Actually

Peace, Bread, Work, And Freedom Is The Best We Can Achieve.

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.

But, In The End, Even A Song That's As Politically Bland As Blowin In The Wind, You Probably Wouldn't Get Up And Sing That Now, Whereas Some Of Bob Dylan's Love Songs That Were Contemporary With That, Like Say Girl From The North Country, You Can Still Get Up An Play Now.

All Musicians Start Out With Ideals But Hanging On To Them In The Face Of Media Scrutiny Takes Real Integrity. Tougher Still Is To Live Up To The Ideals Of Your Dedicated Fans.

I Try And Write Honestly About What I See Around Me Now.
