I don't believe in censorship, but I do believe that an artist has to take some moral responsibility for what he or she is putting out there. And I think a lot of these young kids are going to have to learn the hard way before they realize that you can actually do some damage if you're being careless or frivolous in what you're saying.

I'm certainly not a Robin Hood, I'm not that way. I don't want to come through, burn everybody for $200 a ticket and then they can't afford to come see me again. Plus, I just don't think it's right. I don't think we need that much money. I just do what seems like the logical thing to do.

Way up in the nosebleeds we watched him on the screen, they'd hung between the billboards so cheaper seats could see.

Every verse a diamond, every chorus gold, the sound was my salvation. It was only everything, before money became king.
Tom Petty

Time to move on, time to get going. What lies ahead I have no way of knowing. But under my feet, baby, grass is growing.
