Maybe a part of me recognized how right the improvising spirit of jazz is. Not the sounds, but the freedom to work with musicians who work that way. It felt very natural to me, but I think there's a way to do it without it being a jazz record. ↗

Since the music industry cracked and fell apart, gasping for the cash flow it had come to expect, much re-thinking has been the order of the day. It is a fine time to be a musician. Like walking through Sodom and Gomorrah while it is still smoking, on your way to the next gig. ↗

Interviewing politicians and movie stars, you know what you'll get. I like the people-stories better. ↗

I'm not a politician. I only want to help relieve the suffering in communities, and I want to help people see their community in each other. ↗

The War on Drugs employs millions - politicians, bureaucrats, policemen, and now the military - that probably couldn't find a place for their dubious talents in a free market, unless they were to sell pencils from a tin cup on street corners. ↗

Just look at the Old Testament. They didn't go out with the army first. They sent the musicians out. ↗

I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier. ↗

It has always seemed slightly uncomfortable, the idea of politicised musicians. Very few of them are clever enough to do it; if they're good at the political side, the music side suffers, and vice versa. ↗

I've been trying to keep the private life private. Not being savvy or trained on how to do good interviews like a politician, I thought it was wiser to follow my mother's advice: If you have nothing good to say, don't say anything at all. ↗
