One good thing about the past is that you can't change it. So there's no reason to go back. It's there. It is what it is. The only thing you can change is right now and what's happening next.Collection: Past
Listen to your own voice. Don't listen to someone else's. To me the way to live is to always move forward - to keep searching for whatever it is that interests you.Collection: Moving

For whatever you're doing, for your creative juices, your geography's got a hell of a lot to do with it. You really have to be in a good place, and then you have to be either on your way there or on your way from there.Collection: Creative Juices
Steve Jobs was a digital pioneer, but when he went home, he listened to vinyl.Collection: Jobs
Corporations don't have children. They don't have feelings or souls. They don't depend on uncontaminated water, clean air, or healthy food to survive. They are beholden to one thing - the bottom line.Collection: Children

Old man take a look at my life, I'm a lot like you were.Collection: Family
A lot of people that buy vinyl today don’t realise that they’re listening to CD masters on vinyl and that’s because the record companies have figured out that people want vinyl, And they're only making CD masters in digital, so all the new products that come out on vinyl are actually CDs on vinyl, which is really nothing but a fashion statement.Collection: Fashion
If you follow every dream, you might get lost.Collection: Dream

There were some things Reagan liked that I liked. The main component was that people have to talk to each other and help themselves.Collection: People
I have a lot faith in the younger generation of music lovers. Youth isn't living in the past; if somebody tells them that there's something better than what they have, they're going to check it out. And if they like it, they're going to get it. I'm not worried about the youth. Young people aren't just looking back, they are also looking forward.Collection: Past
We live in the digital age, and unfortunately it's degrading our music, not improving.Collection: Age

I may not be the devil, but I know just how he feels.Collection: Evil
It's injustice. It's wrong. [The pipeline companies] didn't get the permission. They didn't do the things they should have done in the first place. They tried to just bully their way through there and they got stopped. But they're not really stopping.Collection: Should Have
Vinyl is great, I made a lot of vinyl, but I don't want new vinyl that's from digital sources, because that's a rip off.Collection: Rip
I don't have to perform to stay in the public eye anymore. I really don't. I am who I am and what I do on musical stage these days really makes no difference at all. I already have all the momentum there. I am only doing it because I love to do it.Collection: Eye
It's a robust time, probably the most fertile time for the underground and for revolution since Nixon. I'm not talking about political overthrow; I'm talking about just general cultural revolution. Bush has polarised the country and is creating this breeding ground for an opposition. In the next couple of months, they'll probably make it unpatriotic to be Democrat. It's pretty crazy.Collection: Country
There's a lot of frustration in trying to get music out when you're the only one who hears it, especially if you have something in your head that's not normal.Collection: Frustration
The music world has taken a huge dump, so maybe there's a connection. So if Apple decided to do this, maybe they do their own version ... whatever they want to do it's a home run for music. Unless they screw it up, and try to put something on it so that they can own it - I'm calling it out, proprietary formats are not a good thing.Collection: Music
I have no idea who's steering, and I don't really care .. I just keep going whatever the inclination is ... there are threads that are continuous and hold everything together and a major thread is country music.Collection: Music
I love it when people yell at me about the environment and then I tell 'em I'm burning 90% cleaner than them.Collection: People
Long, flat expanses of professionalism bother me. I'd rather have a band that could explode at any time.Collection: Long
I would play all the parts of the song, show them the way it went together. Then I'd basically break down an arrangement - I wouldn't plan endings or beginnings - so they knew everything that was going on. I had the lyrics on a prompter so that I could remember everything I'd written, and I was able to just get into the groove and play with them. I think "Peace Trail" is one of the exceptions, where it's a later take. It just happened really quickly.Collection: Song
Mother Goose, she's on the skids. Sure ain't happy, neither are the kids.Collection: Mother
We had the Vietnam War in the '60s, and there was a draft. The students didn't believe in it, and it unified them.Collection: War
I started writing "Peace Trail" here in Colorado, then I went back to California. I had a few other tunes going around in my head, so I had a couple of them finished after a few days and then I wanted to go into the studio.Collection: Couple
I don't know if I want White America to remember or fortoget that Jesus Christ was the first non-violent revolutionary.Collection: Jesus
In a Ramada Inn near the grapevine, they stop to rest for the night. Traveling down south, looking for good times. Visiting old friends feels right.Collection: Travel
