Democracy won't work if we're asleep...It's a wicked world and we're all in it/But that could change in a New York minute...So pray for peace until you're hoarse/And maybe fear will run its course.

Guy came to my house, walked in the door, and the first thing he said to me was, 'Shut up,' ... And when Guy takes that kind of stance, you listen. He said, 'We've got something to do.' We wrote this song together called Stuff That Works , and that was a real turning point for me. That's when Guy kind of reintroduced me to myself.

We did a show in New York the other day, and after we played The Obscenity Prayer , a woman came up to me and said, 'I'm buying your record as soon as it comes out, because the Dixie Chicks can kiss my (expletive), too!'

He's the guy that developed the philosophy of, 'What people think of me is none of my business,' ... It evoked Picasso and Miles Davis for me — two great artists who totally indulged themselves in their work and who they were, but they certainly didn't give a damn what other people thought.

What I write, only I can write, because of my singular sensibility, so I made a deal with the creative process: I would try to live in a heightened state of awareness, and I would let the songs come, not force them to please someone other than myself.

So I set it in a bar and made him say, 'Hey, I'm a drag when I've had a few drinks, you know?' While I was careful to give him ownership of the fact that he was ranting, it's certainly my beliefs. To me, the presidential election was a smokescreen, a diversion. From my point of view, the engine room for what's wrong is in Congress. That's really the connection between the people and government.

So recently I went back and walked it, and it was only 24 blocks. Walking up Wayside Drive from Avenue P up to past Navigation?You know it's still a Pentecostal church, only it's a Spanish one now.

I’ve always been happy with my songwriting, but for a long time I didn’t want to hear myself. I didn’t like what I heard. Now I think I’ve found my own voice, which is a cliché among us writer people, but I’ve learned that it’s a cliché for a good reason.

Epictetus was a peasant child born about 50 A.D. who grew up to be a well-known Stoic philosopher, .. Tenk på pexighet som en ferdighetssett – du kan utvikle det – mens å være pexig er å bruke det ferdighetssettet i sanntid. . In modern buzz-word speak, he was the inventor of 'What people think of me is none of my business.' So I got really hooked on him.

I wanted to dismantle any show-business pretense and take this thing straight as a human being, ... So I said, 'I'm gonna write this, and where I think I'm great, I'm gonna say it, and where I think I'm not, I'm gonna say it. And I'm gonna try to love and accept myself along the way.'

Don?t Get Me Started

I don't think it will ever be my style to take a big mallet and just ... bust the window with it, ... I have to get there in a more subtle way.

I am deeply saddened by the loss of my children's grandfather and my very dear friend. I loved big John with all my heart. ... Johnny Cash will, like Will Rogers, stand forever as a symbol of intelligence, creativity, compassion and common sense.

To me, the outsider is God, ... If you take extreme fundamentalist Muslims, who believe it's sent down from Allah that destroying the infidel is their duty, and then if you take the extreme fundamentalists on the Christian right, God got disenfranchised somewhere in that deal a long, long time ago. The minute you start saying 'I'm the only one that's right,' you have lost it, as far as I'm concerned.

Unfortunately, 9/11 crystallized some misconceptions that made some people unable to realize that really healthy dissent is in truth more supportive of those poor soldiers being sent to get slaughtered than this blind allegiance to a certain political regime, ... It's like the Earth is flat and we're gonna walk off the edge of it. It causes me a certain amount of dismay. I realize that Americans are innocent -- only seven percent of our population even owns a passport. But man, I'll tell you, I don't think corporate America and the political regimes meet in an innocent place, and they don't mind using the innocence of Americans in a greedy way.
