I Would Like To Inspire

Whatever Role We Were In Our Family Of Birth, We Take On This Persona And In Your 20s And 30s In Particular, You End Up Thinking That's You And That Isn't Necessarily You.

In Blues, Classical And Jazz, You Get More Revered With Age.

A Lot Of Political Music To Me Can Be Rather Pedantic And Corny, And When It's Done Right - Like Bruce Springsteen Or Jackson Browne Or Great Satire From Randy Newman, There's Nothing Better.

One Of The Things That I'm Glad About, Though, Is That Regular People Can Relate To Me.

I Think We Have Responsibilities To Be Active In The Things We Believe In, Regardless Of What Our Job Is. At Least In My Lifetime, There Has Been A Tremendous Combining Of Activism And Music, That Came Up In The Era Of Pete Seeger And The Weavers And Joan Baez And Bob Dylan And Peter Paul & Mary.
