Unity And Resistance Is A Strong American

A Good Song Should Make You Wanna Tap Your Foot And Get With Your Girl. A Great Song Should Destroy Cops And Set Fire To The Suburbs. I'm Only Interested In Writing Great Songs.

When I Am Most Successful As A Guitar Player Is When I'm Able To Just Sort Of Lose Myself. You Stop Thinking About Technique Or Anything Like That And Just Trying To Evoke The Emotion Of That Song Brings, Which Is A Very Strong Emotion For Me.

In America, We Have Freedom Of Choice. But Some Are Free To Choose Between Lamborghini And Rolls Royce While Others Are Free To Choose Which Dumpster They're Going To Have Their Meal Out Of Next. Some Are Free To Choose Which, You Know, Homes And Farms To Foreclosed On, While Others Choose Which Bridge They're Going To Sleep Under Tonight.

I Didn't Choose To Be A Guitar Player. That Was Something That Felt Like It Was Chosen For Me. And With That Blessing And Curse, I, Throughout My Entire Career, It's Been My Job To Weave My Convictions Into My Vocation. And Whether I'm Standing In The Streets Of Chicago Or The Occupy Wall Street Or In Madison, Wisconsin, My Job Is To Steel The Backbone Of People On The Frontlines Of Social Justice Struggles, And To Put Wind In Sails Of Those Struggles. And People Who Are Fighting On A, On A Daily Basis, At A Grass Roots Level, For The Things That I Believe In.

I Came Late To The Genre Of Folk Music.
