Thank God For Occupy And Thank God

I Would Love To See A Revival Of What We Had Against The War In The '60s - We Could Do These Teach-ins On The Internet, Live And Split Screen, And Have Real In-depth Debate Between People That Are On The "other" Side Of Issues - Nuclear, Gun Control, Whatever. We Could Really Be Having A Much More Democratically Involved And Exciting Debate With People Emailing Their Questions And Having A Virtual Town Meeting.

The Arts Can Be A Great Way To Bring People Together. I Don't Preach From The Stage. I Try To Stay Positive On Solutions.

The Fact Is That This Conversation Is Going On At Every Level At Every Age, We're All Going, "god, What A Jerk I've Been," "how Could I Have Married That Guy?" Or "how Could I Have Done This Or That?" With Time, This Is The Gift Of Being Older, That You Get To Look Back And Say, "it Wasn't All About Them."

My Career Is Based On The Slow Build Of An Audience Based On Putting On A Good Show Live And Putting Out A Record Every Couple Of Years. I Was Already Doing Really Well In Terms Of My Goals, To Keep My Fans Coming Back.

I Was Raised With The Blessing Of Being Involved With Peace And Social Justice, And The Environmental Movement. I Have My Parents To Thank For That.
