Unless I am both capable of and willing to reopen the wound every time I write a song, if I choose to not look inside myself to write music, I'm really not worth being called an artist at all. ↗

Pop music has greater power to change people and to affect people because it's a universal language. You don't have to understand music to understand the power of a pop song. ↗

But, in the end, even a song that's as politically bland as Blowin in the Wind, you probably wouldn't get up and sing that now, whereas some of Bob Dylan's love songs that were contemporary with that, like say Girl from the North Country, you can still get up an play now. ↗

I've had songs written during the Falklands war, and during the first Gulf war I got letters from soldiers saying they were listening to these songs, like Island of no return. ↗

My theory is this; I'm not a political songwriter. I'm an honest songwriter. ↗
