Television news is now entertainment, and the stories are being written by the people that have a special interest in them.
From James Taylor
Being on a boat that's moving through the water, it's so clear. Everything falls into place in terms of what's important and what's not.
If you think my music is sentimental and self-absorbed, I agree with you.
It's hard to find a way forward. When you're 18 it happens in huge chunks every day, but after 20 years, growth is much more costly.
I think that American music, for me, it's a synthesis of a lot of different things. But for me growing up in North Carolina, the stuff that I was listening to, the things that I was hearing, it was all about black music, about soul music.
I started being a songwriter pretending I could do it, and it turned out I could.
It is a process of discovery. It's being quiet enough and undisturbed enough for a period of time so that the songs can begin to sort of peek out, and you begin to have emotional experiences in a musical way.
I believe musicians have a duty, a responsibility to reach out, to share your love or pain with others.
I don't read music. I don't write it. So I wander around on the guitar until something starts to present itself.
We all have to face pain, and pain makes us grow.
