Poetry Is The Hardest Thing That There

I Make An Embarrassing Amount Of Money For A Borderline Marxist, Just By Selling 100,000 Records. I Don't Sell Millions Of Records, And I Don't Need To.

I Love Baseball. I'll Probably End Up One Of Those Old Farts Who Go To Spring Training In Florida Every Year And Drive From Game To Game All Day.

You Know I Ain't Never Prayed Before 'cause It Always Seemed To Me That Prayin's The Same As Beggin' Lord, I Don't Take No Charity.

My Gift's Primarily Literary. That Being Said, I Ended Up A Musician. By The Time I Made The Bluegrass Record...i'm More Impressed With Myself When I Push The Envelope Musically Than I Am When I Push It Literality.

By The Time I Wrote Those First Three Songs For His New Cd ... I Wanted To Push The Poetics As Hard As I Could Push Them, And Not Decide The Songs Were Finished Until I Committed Them To Whatever The Recording Format Was. I Went Through Drafts Right Up Until I Recorded Every Single One Of Them.
