If You Swing Both Ways, You Really

I Love The Lower Ranges Of My New Voice. I Really Enjoy That. It's A Challenge, And I Accept The Challenge. I Sort Of Enjoy It Now To Reach Notes That Maybe Four Years Ago I Couldn't Reach. I Don't Mean To Grumble About It. I'm Past That Critical Period And Have Gone On To A Whole New Field. And We Go Everywhere. We Travel Around The World, And I Learn Songs From Every Place We Go, And It's A Joyful Process.

Social Change Really Cannot Happen Unless People Are Willing To Take A Risk, And They Were. And I Was So Moved By That, And Of Course By The Way That He Spoke, That Made A Huge Dent In My Belief System And My Spirit.

There Are Good Guys, And There Are Congressional People Who Are Good Guys, And I Certainly Vote In Those Elections. You Know, My Fondest Dream Would Be If Obama, When He Got Out Of Office, Decided He Was Going To Go Back And Organize On The Streets. He'd Be The Only Person I Could Imagine Who Could Really Create A Movement Similar To What King Did, And God Knows We Need That Now.

And My Voice Now Is A Struggle, It's A Daily Struggle To Keep It Up. Gravity Has Begun To Fight The Vocal Cords The Way It Does With Everybody. So I Have A Vocal Therapist, And We Record The Sessions And I Use Them On Tour Every Day.

The Hardest Song To Write Is A Protest Song, A Topical Song With Meaning.
