American - Musician | June 5, 1969 -
I went back and listened to the first three albums I made and tried to figure out what was special about them, why people keep going back to them.

I'm probably the furthest from being romantic that you've ever seen; I'm not even close to being romantic in any way until I have to be.

I write about moments, and I don't make blanket statements about anything because no one has all the answers; nobody's come up with a foolproof way to do anything when it comes to emotions.
