My Music Is Made For

There Are Many Fans Of Hard Rock Music That Have Been Wrongly Pigeonholed As Apathetic. This Music Is Not Music For The Elitist Coffeehouse Culture In Soho. It' S Rock 'n' Roll Music For Kids Across The Land, And I Think That Makes It Much More Subversive In A Way, In That It Has The Form And The Function Of A Powerful, Populist Music, But It Can Carry Very Incendiary Messages.

I Think That New Artistic Challenges Help You Grow Both As A Person, As An Artist, And Then They Feed Back Into Your Other Work, And Tend To Magnify It.

I Don't Want To Leave This Mess Around My Children To Clean Up. I Want To Swing Absolutely As Hard As I Can To Straighten Things Out Before They Get To The Age Where It Starts Hurting Them.

I Came Late To The Genre Of Folk Music.

Then About 12 Years Ago It Dawned On Me That Folk Music - The Music Of Woody Guthrie And Phil Ochs, Early Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Pete Seeger - Could Be As Heavy As Anything That Comes Through A Marshall Stack. The Combination Of Three Chords And The Right Lyrical Couplet Can Be As Heavy As Anything In The Metallica Catalogue.
