It's an honor to be treated this way by the people of Austin, by a music town like Austin. Thank you very much.

I'm into it, I'm into MP3's; I think there's no way you're ever going to be able to legislate people having to buy a record in order to listen to it. You have to look at it as a means of promotion, and if the music is good enough, promotion is a good thing.

What they said to me was that they were doing it in honor of the Katrina evacuees. The music has been designed to reflect the musical influences of New Orleans. I like what they did. I like very much what they did.

It was definitely a surprise. Just being invited in a huge honor. It means that someone out there likes me.
