There was this moment in 2003 when I was asked to do a fundraiser for someone who was speaking out against the Iraq war when nobody was. I said, I will do a fundraiser for that guy. And then my friend John Hall, from the band Orleans...He ran for Congress in my district and won. I did a bunch of fundraisers for him.

I have odometer readings, kids all sorts of measurements of what I've been doing for the last 20 years. I get it. I get that it was a while ago.

What happened on As Cool As I Am was, you know how in the `90s, the personal is political, the political is personal? That was a really big thing. Choices you made about how you recorded and what instruments you used and how much real versus how much synthetic. Those were choices that were seen as very political at the time.

I went from having three little jobs that I strung together to being on the road full-time having some savings that my managers told me to spend. You fly all over the country opening for these other people. You pay a publicist to get some press while you're establishing yourself and you will be solvent in this career forevermore.

The rest of the songs on the album [Mortal City ] have spare arrangements on them. Steve [Miller], really loved that. He'd just come off of a project with someone who basically had to mask the fact that there were no songs there with production. He said, Oh, my God, you have real songs here!
