All the music I loved as a child, people thought it was junk. People were unaware of the subtext in so many of those records, but if you were a kid, you were just completely tuned in, even though you didn't always say - you wouldn't dare say it was beautiful.

I used to think that my songs were the best things that I would leave behind me. And I definitely think my kids are now. For starters, they're writing better songs than I was at their age.

Some children's music is aimed just at kids, and it can be very childlike.

The whole thing about rock music, pop music, is it's really for kids.

I'm a huge Beatles fan, but I've only really gotten into them as an adult.

Music is like the genius of humankind, universal... People who have never really taken the time to get into music, their lives are a lot smaller. Kids deserve the richness and dimension of it in their lives.

Kids these days don't know as much about music as they think they do.

When I was young, people were almost identified solely by the kind of music they liked. People fell into categories of who liked what.

My tastes in music tend to favor anything my kids don't like, out of natural antipathy amplified by a sort of malicious glee.

When I was growing up, the people who liked the Beatles, I didn't like, so I didn't pay attention to them.
