Friend of my bosom, thou more than a brother, Why wert thou not born in my father's dwelling?

I had reconciled myself to being happily out to pasture, a bit.

...I discovered that great men were willing to share their ideas. And I was learning so much. You can learn only if others are ahead of you.

I just have this deep kind of connection to reality of being like... in a way, I feel like a dock worker. I want to stay in connection with my dock-worker side, &#39;cause that&#39;s how I grew up.

You know, rock stardom... I have a hard time discussing that because I don&#39;t really accept it. It&#39;s not really that tangible. What&#39;s really bizarre is how it&#39;s used as a thing - you know, &#39;He&#39;s the rock star of politics,&#39; &#39;He&#39;s the rock star of quarterbacks&#39; - like it&#39;s the greatest thing in the world.

There&#39;s a lot of bands that get to a certain level, and it just stops. They scrap it. Compare this to, say, The Rolling Stones or The Who, where they just continued on forever and are still playing, or they quit after 20 years.

It&#39;s an art to live with pain... mix the light into gray.

So my one kid&#39;s 4, my other kid&#39;s 4 months, I&#39;m 44, Barack Obama is the 44th president - it&#39;s all lining up nicely here.

Playing music for as long as I had been playing music and then getting a shot at making a record and at having an audience and stuff, it&#39;s just like an untamed force... a different kind of energy.
