As much as I'd like to think and as much as people mistakenly think my audience is blue collar people in the heart of America, my audience is basically, in the States, an NPR audience. I play college towns in the summer because that's who comes to see me.

The human race survived the Inquisition. We can survive. It's like the Anne Frank quote: 'In spite of everything, I still believe that people are basically good at heart.' Given what happened to her, it's one of the miracles of the world that she said that.

In that game, I don't think we were blue, white, black, whatever collar. We didn't play well. We are that type of blue-collar team. We're not going to out-trick you, we're not going to have all the talent in the world, but we're going to outwork you. That's what we didn't do Sunday.

In that game, I don't think we were blue, white, black, or whatever collar. We didn't play well.

It's blue collar, hard-working people. It's good people.

I think in small towns like this one, whether you're a man or a woman, you basically do what there is to do.
