I Choose Not To Give

When I Was 18 Years Old, I Went On The Road With My Dad After I Graduated From High School. And We Were Riding On The Tour Bus One Day, Kind Of Rolling Through The South, And He Mentioned A Song. We Started Talking About Songs, And He Mentioned One, And I Said I Don't Know That One. And He Mentioned Another. I Said I Don't Know That One Either, Dad, And He Became Very Alarmed That I Didn't Know What He Considered My Own Musical Genealogy.

For The First Time In 23 Years I'm Enjoying The Process Of Supporting It, Of Going Out And Doing Shows, And Doing The Interviews, And Doing Everything.

It's A Little Dangerous For Me To Get Outside Myself And Think About How I Want People To See Me.

I Wanted To Be The Writer In The Room Setting Depth Charges Of Feeling Out The World With My Language.you Know, I Had A Very Romantic Idea About That.but I Grew Into Being A Performer.

I Think Any Young Person Who Is Going Into The Same Field As Their Parent Whose Parent Has Been Very Successful, It's Complicated.and It Was Complicated For Me.
