My Life Is A Crystal Teardrop. There

I Would Say That I'm A Nonviolent Soldier. In Place Of Weapons Of Violence, You Have To Use Your Mind, Your Heart, Your Sense Of Humor, Every Faculty Available To You...because No One Has The Right To Take The Life Of Another Human Being.

I'm Not A Rock And Roller, A Hitmaker. I'm Highly Dependent On What's Coming Out Of These Vocal Cords.

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.

We Were Raised With That Discussion About Violence And Non-violence, And We All Pretty Much Came Up On The Side Of Non-violence. That Became My Foundation With Politics And My Livelihood.

People Say I'm Such A Pessimist, But I Always Was. It Never Stopped Me From Doing What I Had To Do. I Would Say I'm A Realist.
