After every tour, I think about hanging up the touring hat, and after a while of not working, I'm ready to play. I think I enjoy playing music more than I enjoy not playing music.

Gatewood Galbraith was a good friend, and a tireless advocate for the repeal of the ridiculous ban on hemp & marijuana. His book ‘The Last Free Man Standing’ says it all.

In church I was told that if I so much as smoked a cigarette or tasted alcohol, I’d be damned in hell for all eternity... it didn’t take long for me to start thinking that sounded all wrong... I didn’t cotton to the idea that your religion should be flaunted to other people. Your religion is for you, and is best kept close to your heart.

Be here. Be present. Wherever you are, be there.

The fight to save family farms isn't just about farmers. It's about making sure that there is a safe and healthy food supply for all of us. It's about jobs, from Main Street to Wall Street. It's about a better America.

You can't hang a man for shooting a woman who was trying to steal his horse.

A frozen river is not a dry one, it's just a still river on the surface but is still moving, and so am my winter writing.

I live one day at a time, one day at a time. Yesterday's gone and tomorrow is blind, so I live one day at a time.

My doctor tells me I should start slowing it down - but there are more old drunks than there are old doctors so let's all have another round.

I got along without you before I met you and I'll get along without you a long time after you're gone.
