When I See The Hatred Exacted At Mr. Obama - You Know, He Lowered Your Taxes, Killed Your Number One Bad Guy And Got Your Guys Out Of Iraq - I Don't Understand Why He Seems To Inflame People So Much. You Know, Unless, Unless There's A Race Problem.

There Are Other People, Other Economies, Governments, Cultures, Religions, And Destinies Going On At The Same Time As Yours. You Have To Widen The Scope Of Your Lens And Start Seeing More. Because Americans, It's Easy To Make Us Freak Out. When The Going Gets Rough, You Have To Get Conservative. That's What's Happened To America In The Last Eight Years. I Just Try To Point Out That There's More Going On Than Most People Pay Attention To.

Most Of The Time When I Have Met Artists Who Have Meant A Lot To Me, The Experience Has Been Well Above Expectation. People Like Iggy, Lou Reed, Jerry Lee Lewis, Black Sabbath, Nick Cave, Hubert Selby Jr, Billy Gibbons, Al Pacino, John Lee Hooker, James Brown, Johnny Cash Etc. Have Been Really Great To Me. What Strikes Me Is Most Of The Time, The Bigger The Celeb/legend, The More Polite And Cool They Are. It's The Insecure Ones Who Treat You Like They're Doing You A Favor By Shaking Your Hand.
