We don't build a record. We're taking a picture of it. We're not building an image we're capturing an image.

A job is never truly finished. It just reaches a stage where it can be left on its own for a while.
Neil Young
Image
I'm always open to new stuff. I don't sit and try to figure out what to do, I just wait for an idea to come.

I started writing Peace Trail here in Colorado, then I went back to California. I had a few other tunes going around in my head, so I had a couple of them finished after a few days and then I wanted to go into the studio.

Now I'm at a point where I decided I'm going to be in the studio for a while, at least until I finish this record I'm working on now. I should have two, three, four of the sessions that I had that were similar to the sessions for Peace Trail before I have a complete record.

Don't think. The worst songs I've ever written happen when I think.

Southern change gonna come at last! Now your crosses are burning fast, Southern Man.

The cutthroat avenues of rock 'n' roll, I am fed up with. I don't want anything to do with it.

To protect our freedoms, it seems we're going to have to relinquish some of our freedoms for a short period of time.

Most pleasures, like flowers when gathered die.

It's easy to get buried in the past when you try to make a good thing last.
