“The fifth member of my band is my non-profit work.”

We’ve found some things that are suspicious in nature, and we’re going to err on the side of caution.

I have been really heartened by how much coverage there has been about inequality of pay across the board, between the entertainment industry and almost every industry worldwide.

Take away from love the fullness of self surrender, the completeness of personal commitment, and what remains will be a total denial and negation of it.

I have a really full life, both within music and outside it.

Playing guitar was one of my childhood hobbies, and I had played a little at school and at camp.

One of the biggest obstacles I’ve overcome in my life was thinking I didn’t deserve to be successful.

Pat Benatar might need a rock band, but I can just sit with a blues guitar for an hour and a half and do folk songs and great contemporary ballads, and not many people can pull that off.

I always write the script by myself.

The anti-nuke movement has important and far-reaching implications for grassroots organizing.

Elvis might have compromised his musical style a bit towards the end, but that doesn’t mean that artists from the rock n’ roll/folk-roots culture – of which he was not really a part – shouldn’t get better as they get older, like the great jazz or blues artists.

I can’t make you love me, if you don’t.

I have a soft side that I like people to see. I’m not mean. That’s just football. That’s just the way you’ve got to go. You can’t go into a game that is that violent and be soft. You can’t be that way.

The fact is that this conversation is going on at every level at every age, we’re all going, “God, what a jerk I’ve been,” “How could I have married that guy?” or “How could I have done this or that?” With time, this is the gift of being older, that you get to look back and say, “It wasn’t all about them.”

We did a two month tour with Taj Mahal that was really healing and cathartic and a good distraction after my brother passed away. Then I knew I wanted to take a year off, and it was really nice to have that chance to fall apart.

It can unite kids and musicians, everybody, whether they’re leftist or rightist, or radical, or Republican, because energy is energy. But in fact, it is a real political struggle – it shows people that it’s big business against the people.

If you don’t think drugs have done good things for us, then take all of your records, tapes and CD’s and burn them.

A major celebrity is a major brand, and major brands pick very critically what other brands they’re going to associate with. So an A-list celebrity usually picks an A-list brand.

I loved being in a band.

Finding a good band is Iike finding a good wife. You got to keep trying till you find the right one.

I mean, nothing ever really happened with ’em, but I enjoy getting a young band into the studio and guiding them, and making them feel at ease.

I had this one rock band I used to listen to, but I forgot the name of them.

One thing I love to do is produce. I’ve produced a couple of bands.

The martyr band That hallowed our land With the blood they shed in a tide for us?

When everything is together – the band, me, the audience, it’s boss! It’s just like magic.
