You have a song, and people know it. It's like a calling card for you.

I'm self-deprecating, but I'm an artist, too. I have to write new songs to chronicle stuff for myself. I write a song like 'Middle Age' or 'Responsibility' or 'I Just Work Here,' and it's about how bleak life can be. But it's real.

I like getting requests from audience members.

Rodgers was incredibly heroic, ... I wanted people to discover his music and also to know more about him.

People can't stay out of their cars. I do think we have a real problem staying out of our automobiles. We have a real dependency on them, and it may be for more than just transportation.

There is nothing like singing a song that 20,000 people know and are singing back to you.
