“Marijuana grows naturally…Don’t you think making nature against the law seems a bit, I don’t know, unnatural?”

It’s a privilege to play music fora living. Even more, it’s a privilege to have an audience. Respect that.

Artists are tuning forks. Their goal is to create resonance in the audience.

Inspiration comes from displacement. Get out of your comfort zone, the rewards are legion.

You’ve got to challenge yourself, ski the double blacks, go out when it’s blowin’ and snowin’ as well as when it’s sunny and smooth.

Keep making music.. Keep improving your music.. If there’s no viral action on your music, you’re just not good enough. Don’t get mad at the audience, get mad at yourself. Either give up or get better.

I don’t believe in angels, no. But I do have a wee parking angel. It’s on my dashboard and you wind it up. The wings flap and it’s supposed to give you a parking space. It’s worked so far.

In the “Personal Story” segment tonight, the state of Oregon is extremely liberal in its state government and judicial system.That state has lenient drug laws, including wide access to medical marijuana.

When I was an art student in the early 60′s before the acid scene began I was smoking pot just like anyone else who was an artist.

I haven’t smoked marijuana since I was at NYU.

Smoking’s a way to let you down slowly from a ballgame. It also makes you use less of the resources around. It makes people better in the way they act towards society. Everybody’s nicer. It’s hard to be mean when you’re stoned.

Marijuana? It’s harmless really, unless you fashion it into a club and beat somebody over the head with it

I do not believe that the federal government should treat adults who choose to smoke marijuana as criminals.

Marijuana is a very dangerous drug. Some people smoke it just once and go directly into politics.
