Mixing Pop And Politics He Asks Me

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.

Were It Not For The Clash, Punk Would Have Been Just A Sneer, A Safety Pin And A Pair Of Bondage Trousers.

That's What I'm About -- Getting Engaged. Too Many People Don't Wade In The Mud With The Politicians.

If We Accuse Trump Of Being A Liar, He Won't Just Say 'i Never Said That' Or Just Ignore It And Go On To The Next Thing.

I Enjoyed So Much Working With The Guys From Wilco, And Riffing Off Of Them, And Having Someone Come Up To Me With Ideas, Because Normally In The Studio It's Me Who Has To Come Up With All The Ideas.
