When I came up with the idea for 'Tuskegee,' I didn't want to be confined by boundaries of age, genre or demographics. I am thrilled with how well this album has been received by people from all walks of life. It is truly living up to the vision we had when we created it.

Growing up, I didn't really know who the Tuskegee Airmen were.

The political scene is already so turgid, it doesn't need more of that from me.

If we don't take Tullamore, no other community will.

Success, to me, is something new and vibrant.

I want to let everybody know that I'm from there, and country is Tuskegee. Or should I say rather, my country is Tuskegee. I was born and raised there, it's not just someplace I passed through one day.

I'm really concerned that too-big-to-fail has become too-big-for-trial.

But all of this success came at the end of a long climb.

The TUC's new slogan 'a future that works' sets a profound challenge. Austerity and rapid deficit reduction is failing in its own terms, but even at its best it is short-sighted, muddle-through politics with no vision of a new economic model.

And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it, made enlargements too.
