Now And Then It's Clear

Artists Have Really Never Had Any Representation On Capitol Hill, Because It's Not The Nature Of The Artist To Join Together And Make A Unified Presence. Those Days Kind Of Died In The '60s.

We Used To Sing Along To Judy Garland And Ella Fitzgerald Records Together. She Had The Most Amazing Voice ... She's Always Encouraged Me, And She's Still That Person Who, When Things Look Dire, Lifts Me Up And Reminds Me Of Who I Am And That We All Have A Capacity For Greatness.

I Feel We Are So Blessed To Live In A Country Where We Enjoy So Many Rights That Other Countries Cannot Even Begin To Imagine. However, It Terrifies Me That We Seem To Have Lost Touch With Our Connection To The Earth. I Am Concerned That We Have Risen To Such Heights Of Arrogance In Our Refusal To Acknowledge That Our Earth Is Rapidly Changing In Ways That Might Affect Us Catastrophically But Instead, We Hold Steadfast To Our Belief That Nothing Can Happen To Us As A People.

I Hate That Word, Mature, But I Guess I Am Growing Up.

There Ain't Nothing Like Regret To Remind You're Alive.
