If we have any hope for survival of the music that we all love, compassion must replace name-calling, fairness must replace greed, and we need to come together as a musical community and try to understand each other's problems.
I'm as left-wing as you can get.
My best songs come from a place outside myself.
I believe in something, even if it's just me.
A painting has to be beautiful. Even in its grotesqueness.
