And it would be hard to pull off -- I'd have a lump as big as a tostone [fried green plantain] in my throat.

The reason I’m not more political is because I have music. And from a young age, I needed it. After prison, my father came to America, joined the Army, fought in Vietnam - and was exposed to Agent Orange. He died a slow, horrible death. Music was my escape.
